You can replace the trunk and engine cables by using bicycle brake cables. They have worked for me. While you are at it check the engine accelerator cable. That can snap the same way, especially when you are DRIVING! Not a very good situation or experience for anyone. If you do replace the accelerator cable, save it and use it to replace the trunk or engine's cable. Preferably, use it for the trunk cable for it is longer of the two cables.
