I'm willing to bet it's just the small spring that is in the paw that engages into the teeth that broke. If you follow the handle down into the console, just past the rubber slit, you'll see on the passenger side a gold looking little piece with a pointed end that locks into the gear for the brake cable. There's a little spring that attaches to it. It should be easy to replace the little spring.
