The "specific" part he needs is a new dock. The dock consists of the charging port, the home button receiver, and the bottom microphone. He does not need a new speaker.

If your microphone is not working there isn't anything you can do to really fix it so you will have to replace it. As you are on this site I'm sure you are quite familiar with a screwdriver and prying tool.

Follow the guide to replace the module which houses the microphone (on the left-hand side to the 30-pin dock connector) It's not a particularly easy fix but it is plain sailing once you have got past the battery.

A new module can be bought here on iFixit, on eBay or even on Amazon, won't cost you that £/$ 100 though and there isn't too much you can break apart from removing that battery which you might damage as you take it out. I'd replace that too if your iPhone is old, they are not excessively expensive either and it will improve your battery life too!

Hope this helps!

Hey, i'm an Apple genius and my solution to you is to go to the apple store and get a fix. They charge $100. ..... just trying to help

Update

Also the specific part you need to replace is the left speaker on the bottom of your iPhone.

Apple, sure shows that you are a Genius. This is ifixit, where we try to assist people in repairing their own devices, not send you to Apple.
