1 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem

Failure Date: 03/07/2019

The gear shift selector (manual transmission) wouldn't find any gear. The traffic signal turned green, I placed the gear in 1st. It drove about 200 feet and I heard a faint "pop". The transmission gear selector did not have any feeling in it, and I couldn't go into any gear. The engine remained running, I still had a clutch peddle, just no gears. I had it towed to a kia dealer where they informed me that the transmission cable linkage had failed and it was going to be difficult to find a new one. Apparently the 2012 Soul 6 speed transmission is a one year only? when asked how long would it be the dealers response was, "we have a lot of recalls in here, and your part is on back order".
