I routed both cables on the right side of the motor (looking forward). You need to be careful to put the cables where the AC compressor will not hit them. I routed it under the suspension cross brace. I attached it to the side of the frame with padded P shaped hose hangers and zip tied it to the link for the rear clip so that they would not hit the axles. I went down this side of the engine to leave the other side for an oil filter relocator.

Mine does have a detent. I was missing one detent but I managed to get one. I don't remember which gear it was for. It was tough to find. Audi does not sell it and the wreakers don't want to sell them. They are only interested in selling a complete transaxle.

You should still be able to shift without it for testing. You may need to pull the inspection cover to make sure all the gates are in nuetral. I have PMed my phone number to you if you want to talk about it some more.
