As I mentioned previously, the shift lever pieces I've seen were fully weldable. I've had 10-15 of them welded over a period of time by a pro welder using TIG or my brother's 220V MIG outfit, and he's not a welder by any means. A tack weld is a tack weld; melt two adjacent areas with heat and add a filler material. It's not rocket science, just an adequate application of intense heat.
BTW, all the levers I've seen have been epoxied. If any levers were silver-soldered, and they broke, then the soldering wasn't performed correctly. But I don't think the factory would have silver-soldered them when there are cheaper ways of joining parts using heat (e.g brazing and welding), and even cheaper without heat using epoxy.
