i've never been able to find that part for sale by itself. i have a spare gearbox/engine missing it as well. you could take a chunk of 3/4 to 1 inch rod stock, bore a hole wide and deep enough to slip snugly over the gearbox end where the cable goes. then bore a smaller hole from the other side to fit the cable and ball through and tap/thread it for the pipe on the end of the housing. you feed the cable through the "new" part first then put the cable ball in the socket. it can be a real pain since you're working against the spring tension of the shift fork inside the unit and the socket wants to retract while your doing it.
