Did you curve the cable over the top of the transmission like the instruction book said to do? If not, maybe that's why it cracked.
You're the second person I've heard of that had their cable break like that! I wonder if B&M had a run of bad cables. I put my Megashifter in around mid-'97, and the cable B&M included has been fine so far...
