Just go into the dealer and ask them... iirc it wasnt that much .. i bought one about 6-8 months ago just dont have the receipt anymore nor do i remember the cost.

Im pretty sure its the only place you can get a new one though.
If it feels right, then STROKE it!

I made my own out of 1/8" (i thinks that's the size) Stainless Steel brake line. bend it to match, cut to length, use the original rubber ends from the OEM line.

Cost me about $4 and 10 minutes.

The OEM brittle plastic part was under $20 but this will NEVER need replacing.

53004589 part no dealer price is $26.30

A local dealer found me one. My problem is the rubber end That goes on the throttle body is wore out and doesn't like to stay in. The stainless line might help since it's bigger and more ridge

I used the tiniest bit of sensor safe RTV in the Throttle body end to keep it from popping out.
I forgot to mention that.

The SS line I used is a little bit larger diameter than the OEM plastic tube so it's a tighter fit.
I had better luck putting the TB rubber in first then stabbing the hardline into it.
