I was by sheer luck able to find the plastic piece that snaps into the end of the shifter cable then snaps over the pin on the shifter. It had somehow made its way into an air duct. I would like to apologize for taking up your time and I thank you. I like this site and more than likely will be back in the future. Much thanks.

Also you were talking about at the base of the shifter inside the car and and it was the black cable end that broke correct?If so then the info I gave for repair is correct.
