Not difficult. Note the diagram. Many places sells them including Modern Day:

You could go to your local big box parts store like Pep Boys/Autozone etc.

Look in the HELP/Dorman section. They have them there for around $25 bucks.
Easy DIY install!

Same thing happened to me. The interior handle assembly is available, just do a internet search and they are not that expensive. Installation is strait forward.

 

I just rebuilt both doors on my IROC and changing the door handles isn't too bad of a job, but if you have big hands and forearms like me, you are going to find every sharp object in there while doing it; just keep a band aid or two on hand when you do it.

 

thanks guys. umm that diagram is for the outside handle, i have to fix the inside one lol. but it does look easy so should be ok.

 

Watch the torx bolts on the door panel, not all are actual screws and they look like crap after the plastic is stripped out.
You'll need a t-15, a long shaft T-30 (iirc), and a door panel separator may help.
Roll down the window part way, put upward pressure on the door panel to affect the upper rail, and then lightly smack the upper rail inward to release. The upper rails are typically brittle so be careful.

Edit: You may be able to replace it without pulling the door panel but the info is there if you need it.

 

Since you didn't mention whether the handle was inside or outside....

I've got a few of these things,...... send me a PM if you still need 1.

 

thanks Scorpner, and sry Jamesc thought i did, thanks though. PM sent buddy

 

Replaced both on the 88, fairly easy, might want to consider replacing the door weather strip at the same time if yours needs it, as it required taking off the door panel also.
