Default Transmission problems 2005 Independence

I have a 2005 Gulf Stream Independence with the Ford F-10 gas engine. Somehow a cable from the transmission fell down onto the exhaust and melted. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? Until this happened I didn't even know transmissions had cables! Gulf Stream told my RV repair guy that the cable is obsolete and he can't get one. I find that ridiculous. There must be thousands of 11 year old trucks and RVs out on the road with the same engine. Wouldn't there be a few with the same transmission?

So... any ideas about this cable and where to get one?

I do not know how I drove this RV 42,000 miles over the last 5 years without this happening before. It happened when I moved about 1/4 mile to get a propane refill. When I came back to my site and backed in - all of a sudden I had no gears and had to shut it down to stop it.

Hoping for some hints.
