Help needed with Stem Shifters!

Hi,

I'm after some help installing some Shimano 600 arabesque downtube shifters to my girlfriend's 80s Gitane mixte frame.

The bike once had stem shifters (an old and not very nice Sachs-Huret group set).

The thing I don't understand is, as the shifters move with the stem, doesn't that mean the gears could change or cable could stretch when turning?!

Cheers in advance!
