Holy shit! Same fucking place as mine! Shoot me a PM, I'll send you my cell phone number - we can talk more about my upgrade.
If you purchased from @ron@whoosh , I believe he has the replacement ball studs in stock if you need to get up and running quick. If he can't help you, I can overnight you one tomorrow to get you back up and running.

Need to take the center console out to effectively get to the broken part. Would need to keep more than just a few spares in the car unfortunately..

So since 5 people have asked me so far:
I can make the upgraded linkage for you assembled for $300 (includes bearings and ball studs installed).
The linkage only is $275. Both options are going to be bare carbon steel, no paint.
I talked with the shop and if I can get three people interested at once, it will knock $50 off the price for each unit (linkage only or assembly).
So if a few people are interested we are talking $225 linkage only and $250 assembled.
I know it’s expensive but unfortunately the folks I work with are making this with a 4-axis mill and I don’t have time right now to get better pricing elsewhere to have it fabricated on a CNC.
This upgraded linkage should remove most of your fears about this failure. I did an analysis of the whole unit and the next weakest point based on the forces seen and motion of the unit is the ball stud on the physical shifter (that you move with your hand). Redesigning these threads would be a little more complicated and is not a priority right now.
If folks are interested let me know and I’ll keep track to see if we can get the better pricing.
Thanks!

For real, haha. Should've just bought a LSD.
Not trying to flame Coolerworkx, though. My shifts feel amazing. For all I know, it could work great forever. As forum people, we're obviously more vocal about issues with products. I'd like to think Coolerworkx is working on a solution that we should see soon. Fingers crossed its never an issue.
