2008 Skoda mk2 gearbox Gear Selector Lever replacement different to original.

 

Has anyone else replaced the small plastic gear selector lever on top of the gearbox, where the selector cables from the internal gear lever attaches?

 

The original lever became stiff, and when trying to free it off, the mounting shaft, to the gearbox casting snapped.

 

The original part number is 6Q0.711.203.A

Apparently this has been replaced by another part number:

 6Q0.711.203.B

I have also got another part number from Skoda, marked as 

6R0.711.203

but this also is too short to reach the vertical actuator 

 

However, this revised part number is the wrong shape for the white plastic vertical actuator on the gearbox selector, to reach the curved metal groove as the one that was removed from the vehicle did? See picture attached.

The 1st pic shows the replacement part, the 2nd shows the old part, where the white part is not visible, as it correctly reaches the actuator.

 

Has anybody else had this problem when replacing this part, if you have, how did you get around it, or have I indeed been supplied with the wrong part from my local Skoda dealer?
