Broken Shifter Cable

I have a 98 F150 Super Cab w/ 4.6 auto transmission.
I have just replaced the heater core and when I went to disconnect the transmission cable under the dash I noticed the plastic bushing was cracked. When putting the cable back on the bushing broke all together and the truck wouldn't go in gear. I ordered a new cable from Rock Auto and installed it . When I went to put the truck in gear that cable bushing near the column bent and cracked. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something?

Doug call my Wk#228-697-5955
I would be better able to figure out what is wrong by seeing what is going on.
You're in Gulfport correct?
