Help with speedometer cable removal-trans end
hello all, I'm in need of some assistance. I'm in the process of trying to fix my speedometer and I have the instrument cluster unscrewed. However, I know I need to remove the cable at the trans end in order to get enough slack on the cluster to slide the cable out. My problem is that I can't get the actual cable out of the driven gear area. I removed the 12mm retaining bolt and popped out the cable sleeve with the o-ring attached. Now the cable itself is stuck and I don't want to break anything. Anyone have any advice? I'd really appreciate it.

Can you get some pictures.
Not sure you disconnected just the cable. It should be a (about) 22mm knurled ring on the end of the cable to the sensor?
This thread, and this picture. tells me you've disconnected the sensor not the cable.

1. Speedometer cable bracket before removal
2. After removal
Thanks for any help you can give me!
