During recent work on my speedometer cable (gear oil in cable and speedometer due to bad o-ring and/or oil seal at transfer case) I broke the plastic clip (pictured) that holds the cable, which sits about mid-point, against the truck body above the transmission. Marietta Toyota looked up the part number and their best guess was 83791-90401. A web search turns up nothing and I had no luck searching MUD. Has anyone replaced this clip before or know the correct part number?

Tip: If you run into the gear oil in the cable/speedometer problem, disconnect both ends of the cable and try pulling the inner cable out of the sleeve from the transfer case end before you try to remove the whole cable. With the inner cable removed you can spray electronic cleaner down the outer cable from the speedometer end, let it dry, and lube and re-insert the inner cable, all without wrestling the whole cable out.
 
These things work as great cable ties. Snap into a hole in the body. Strong. Might work for the speedo cable? Don't know
