The cable is not very expensive, other than waiting a few days on shipping the best thing to do is replace the whole thing.
Do not drive without the cable attached or you could cause the trans to slip and burn the clutches.

Ya I know it's a major pain in the butt to replace the whiling cable. I'm gonna have a mechanic do it for me to make sure it's done right. I lost all my confidence after breaking this lol

You might be able to solder a fishing swivel to the end and adjust it until you can get a new cable. Just put a clip on the throttle pin so it doesn't pop off.
