I wouldn't worry about it affecting the functioning of the car. Once you've removed the console, you'll see the gearshift rod, which runs parallel to the car floor, from the base of the shifter, out through the front bulkhead, and into the engine bay. This is centered by a pair of springs, mounted a few inches forward of the base of the gearstick. You'll find them no problem.
