yeah, no the part that broke is where the cable actually attaches to the shift lever(it is a B&M shifter) so the shifter itself is still fine, just the pin/connector that connects the cable to the shift lever broke. Of the two cables that come out of the firewall into the shift lever, its the one that is closer to the driver and underneath the lever itself. If i hold it together with my hand I can shift it, I drove home 2 miles in first gear, so Im pretty sure the cables which I guess attach to the trans and everything else in the trans is fine, its just the damn connector that broke, couldnt be more than a $5 part and ford wants 70 for the whole cable assembly which I dont even need, i guess I'll check around with a few salvage yards and see if they would sell just that piece
