you can either go to your local parts store and buy a clamp fitting to replace the one you broke, or buy a new cable. Either way, you should be able to do it yourself

I would buy a whole new cable if you want quality work. If the cable broke, it's probably corroded through more than just the place that it broke. Its not an expensive fix, but i think it would be well worth replacing the whole cable. You'll feel better about it that way too.
