Default Need Your Help!

As the seasons have changed from winter to spring to summer, so has the climate inside of the ole' gsr... One day not too long ago, I ran into a problem adjusting the temperature/ climate. The sliding knob that adjusts the temperature seemed to almost snap off of the lever that adjusts the cable that inturn adjusts the temperature. I was wondering if anyone has had this happen and if they know the best way of how to access this knob(#9 on the reference site I listed below). I have found a good diagram of what is broken and a place to order the replacement parts. Refer to Acura Automotive Parts for the naming of the parts.
Model: Integra
Year: 1994
Trim Model: 3DR GS-R
Emission and Transmission Type : KA5MT
System/ Component: Heater Control

Please let me know of the best way to replace the knob/lever
THANKS!!

You might want to figure out why it's so hard to move in the first place. Unhook the cable from the valve on the firewall, see if the control moves easy. If so, then it's the valve that's sticking. Or unhook the cable at the end inside the car. Maybe the cable is kinked so it doesn't slide nicely. Dont replace the parts that aren't broke.

PS for Mountain...
Below the glovebox that isn't a valve. It's a crank or lever that pulls & pushes the cable. The actual valve is at the other end of the cable, under the hood, sorta below the fuel filter.

I agree, also check the valve (below the glovebox, slightly more to the driver's side from center) to see if there is anything lodged in there and remove it.
