I assume he's referring to the plastic lock pin in the shift tower. It's used to lock the tower in the "home" position for shift cable calibration.

They break if you forget to disengage the lock before shifting gears.

Yes, sorry I was in a hurry while making that post

Did you find a replacement lock pin?

I doubt it would be available as a separate item from VW.

It would likely be easier to find another shift tower. Dieselgeek does a nice how-to on this, and he even shows what to do if that pin is broken FYI:
