Default Little plastic piece on my throttlebody cable broke.

Somehow, one of the edges on this piece broke. The tb cable stays in place, but now it seems to be bending the OTHER edge, and I fear it too will break,then i'll be screwed. Any idea how to fix this?

You can try some epoxy, but you'll likely end up seizing the cable up.
