grrrr, stupid speedo cable

Usually, there's a small bolt that fastens the bracket that holds the speedo cable to the tranny. If the bracket is loose, try turning the driveshaft?

I'll try again. I removed bracket, turned shaft, put in different gears, but no luck. I've moved to hooking up heater core and will post if I have luck when I get back on it. My Miller Lite is helping me at this time so we'll see what happens. Thanks Mid.

I assume that you've tried "pulling" on the cable and it won't budge?
Try this....
Clamp a pair of Vise Grip pliers onto the cable.... tight enough to securely hold the cable, but not so tight as to pinch/damage it. Place the pliers on the cable as close to the end as possible. Place a wooden block or other appropriately sized solid object between the side of the pliers and the side of the transmission. Use the pliers as a "lever" and the wooden block as the "fulcrum" to unseat the end of the cable.
Good Luck!
