Default Accelerator Cable Busted-Please Advise

Hey Guys,

I changed my valve cover gasket earlier, and really tried to avoid touching my fragile accelerator cable, but it busted anyway. Frustrating because I have to work in the morning.

Anyways, they don't sell this cable at the parts stores so I'll have to order online, or go to pull-a-part (should I go this route, order a new one?)

Also, is this repair pretty straightforward? I couldn't find any write-ups or videos. Thanks.

How do I disconnect this part of the accelerator cable from the vehicle, is it attached through the dash?

There is a clip on the inside, straight across from where it mounts on the pedal
