Hi,
That pushed onto a ball stud at the shift lever. There is a pin that holds the cable onto the mount, but at the lever, the cable is pushed on to the stud and then there is a plastic locking pin. Take a look at pic 1 below.
Check it and see if you can locate it. Also, if you can take a couple of pictures of it and upload it for me to see, it may help.
Let me know.
If I don't hear from you for a couple of days due to the holiday, I hope you have a great Christmas.
Take care,
Joe
