bad shifter cable Options

[Church]

Hey guys, i'm looking for any insight or help that anyone has. My clutch has practically died, to where only 1st, 3rd and 5th only work, occasionally. Took it to the shop and they said that one of the 2 shifet cables is blown, but that they are attached so i would have to order both in. No 3rd party manufactures make it, according to the mechanic, so they'll have to ship it in from Japan or Cali(i'm in Florida), and cost $340 parts and $60 labor and 5 days shipping. I can't find anyplace on the internet that sells the cables, so does anyone have any idea of who i can get some from, if this price is anywhere near right, if this is even a real problem, etc? Thanks for your help!

This is a picture of the brass bushings (grommets I called them before) that are from TwosRUs, they are for the ST185 but they may fit the GT cables, if not take a look around Twos R Us website for other kinds, perhaps for the N/A MR2's.

They are $26 and if thats the problem, you can replace just those instead of buying new cables. But you should really find out what specifically is wrong with the cable.
