Default Broken Throttle Cable Clip

So the clip that secures the throttle cable broke on me tonight. Now I have no gas pedal. I'm sure there's a way to rig it up to work, but can you just buy a new clip to go on the cable or do you have to buy a new cable assembly? And where can I get either one of those at? Thanks guys...

Mine came off today, had a small wire in car & put it around cable & little hole on black metal to hold til I get it replaced.
Mine is almost all broken, I bought the TC cable from the dealer for about $25.00 or so. (no clip available). It is getting replaced tonight.

Had the same clip break on a road trip. Used 2 small zip-ties around the broken clip and through the hole in the bracket to secure.

That ended up being the easiest thing to replace. It only took a few minutes. But I do not have the traction control on my car.

LoL.. Mine just broke too. Its not completely broken just the plastic on the right side. I used a zip-tie to secure it for now. I'm still under warranty, maybe thats covered.
