i say weld it. i mean you could install that new one which sounds like a pain in the **** but i know its sounds ghetto but that could be a band-aid fix until you figure out how to install the new one.
edit: do you guys think that the sts had something to do with it? it might be a possible suspect. just a thought.

Happened to me:
It is a pain in the *** to replace. You have to have the car up on a lift to see where it meets the interior. Inside the car, you have to actually unbolt and lift your ECU to allow the linkage to be removed. I'm sorry you have to go thru it. I hated it, and actually drove the car for a week like that. I had the ES bushing (Red) as you can see, and somewhat attributed that to the stiffness and added wear on my linkage. I also believe I overtightened that bolt and didn't give the bushing enough lubrication.

That sucks.. I hope this didn't happen while you were driving. 
Good luck with the fix.

JB Weld will NOT work, I repeat, will NOT work. Tried it, snapped right off again.
How did I drive like that? It was actually pretty simple. I moved the **** left and right to choose the gate, then I either pushed or pulled to get into gear. I was waiting for my shifter cable to arrive in the mean time. Trust me, I cut up my hand/knuckles pretty bad just shifting.
It happened one day after I pulled out of work. Noticed the shifting got a lot looser. Went into fourth and felt sooooo easy. Tried to shift down, and.... nothing happened. Ripped apart my center console, then BAM, there she was.
To the OP, if I didn't have a friend who could've helped me, I would've paid someone. It is a ridiculously stupid process to do. Good luck man, and I wished no one else had to go thru this.
