This looks like it's some cruise controll sensor. It seats on the throttle cable...

You car should shift funny with this broken... It downshifts gears when you drive. Seems like it never gets broke, no one is selling it. You can go to the dealer, or even better repair the old one. It looks like you only broke the plug, so solder contacts and tie the cable to the body. Or something else... I've repaired one of my camshaft sensors, and I fixed it with a small wire and epoxy =)
