Nope. Because of other people noticing their's change position, I did a simple measurement. I placed my right leg along the console (where it usually sits, and measured the distance from my leg to the shift knob in first gear with my fingers (a little less than two fingers width). It was the same place with the new one.

There are adjustments in the cables (at each end), that should allow the shifter to be positioned as needed. A bit of a hassle, but it shouldn't be hard to do. I don't know if the tech that changed my shifter adjusted anything, or just put the new shifter in, but it's just fine.
