And the good news..
If your issue is indeed the shifter cable - the good news is that you can just shift it by hand by crawling underneath. The shift lever (which in my case was connected to a nearly non-existent shift cable) has the same 5 positions as the shifter, so one end will be park to start it, and then shift it three positions to drive and get it to a Ford dealer.
