5th gear switch broken wire at base

My 5th gear switch wire broke at the base and im looking for a replacement, I have search but no luck.
Is this switch really important and could i just get by for now or should try to fix this switch?

Remove and resolder. I do it all the time. Works great. And cheaper then buying a new one.
