You didn't use the shifter shell (the part where the shift lever attaches) 
from a junkyard,  did you?  I made that mistake once,  and it cracked on me 
again.
Apparently the design is flawed in terms of where it takes stresses.  I ended 
up getting a *new* one from a local Ford dealer and it didn't cost me all 
that much,  under $10 if I remember right,  and the new unit definitely 
showed some differences in design...
