Red face girl needs help-name the part!


I have a 1988 Lincoln TC. It's not shifting up once I reach 20-30mph. the engine just whines out. One of the 3 cables that comes from/near the throttle body is unattached-(speedo cable?)It's the innermost cable that comes forward from the throttle body and attaches to a small horizontal plate with a hole in it. It goes up through that hole and is held in place by a bushing/grommet. that bushing/grommet is broken. Chain stores don't have'em. Taking one out from a JY will break it. I've been told that I can't replace anything that it will have to be improvised, if that's even possible. It is a $2 part. Is it possible that a $2 part will make my lincoln junkyard material? I have a guy that wants to charge me $75 just to look at it. I've got kids and not enough money- anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Heather
