junk yard is your best bet. pretty sure people have rigged the clip to get by. no way id do that manual shift with a hanger tho lol

it may even be the cable end split. seen a few guys here flat out needed a new cable. if its the cable those dont cost all that much new.

where the cable enters the fire wall is a plastic block/clip. you need to pinch it to free it, sometimes its easier from the inside of the car to release it. pliers are your friends here.
