I have the hold down off. The rubber piece pulled up. I have wiggled the cable and just don't have the guts to put a prybar on it. The gear is stuck. I have sprayed it down with free all and walked away, but in the meantime is there something I don't know or see that should be done to get it out. It is stuck pretty hard and I do not want to take it out in pieces.

I will try pulling while spinning something since I have everything disconnected except the speedo cable and the rear mount...it is ready to come out, I just need to get that stinking cable out.

Disconnect the speedo cable from the speedometer. Pull the cable through the firewall and leave it in the tranny.

If you catch it on the edge as you pull it out, the speedo gear can fall inside the trany with little hope of easily getting it out.

If it would move I would probably catch it on edge. I can't get it to budge...yet.

That's strange, I've never heard of that. I just swapped speedo gears this weekend, I know it does not take a lot of effort to pop the gear off of the cable. I'd say turning the transmission while gently pulling might work.

Alright here is the MFOIUHNDG thing. I know it has the bolt in there, but I take that out when trying to get the gear out and put it back so I don't lose it. I cannot scratch anything up here to get the gear and cable out. I have looked in the bentley and called some people and it isn't doing anything. I would cut the cable and buy new, but I still need that gear when it is all said and done. Any helpful thoughts would be great.

I've always simply took the hold down bolt out and pull it out, sometimes it's a little bit stuck.
There's nothing holding it in the tranny other than that bolt, and if you pull too hard it'll come off the cable. Turning the tranny is kinda the only thing you can do.........maybe try pulling a little bit harder? Weird
