Bowden Cable Fix?

Bowden Cable broke on me yesterday, which sucked. Nothing like driving home in third after shifting at 4500 to get there. It will shift into fourth, at about 82, so it was a longer drive home in third doing about 55. Anyway, the cable looks intact, but looks like it pulled out of the adjuster. So, the plan is to heat up the metal collar, and press it back in, hoping it fuses itself back together. Thoughts? 13 months and 7k miles is too short of a life for the cable, IMO. Not only that, but replacing it really sucks.
