Default Throttle actuator plug in

I broke my throttle actuator plug in on my C6 Z06, how does one replace the end piece only? Please see pic below, its the green plug in part that plugs into the throttle body (not actually the plug from my car but illustrates what I am talking about). I could take in to a GM dealer but they will soak me. Thanks in advance.

How is. It broken? Plastic clips or wires? Maybe try racetronix or a forum GM vendor to purchase the connector and solder it in.

Its the plastic clip a piece broke off so it plugs in but doesnt clip/lock into place. Is there an ingenious way to lock it in?

How do you want to attack the problem.

GM/racetronix sells a connector with wires that you can cut the wires off the old plug and connect to the new connector wires, or you can use a pick tool to remove the wire connector from the old plug and just snap them back into a new connector plug instead.
