Speedo cable at transmission
How do you remove the speedometer cable from the transmission. I have removed the retainer clip but cant seem to see what holds in the cable. I do see from the ford shop manual, that there is an o ring inside. I cant believe that this alone would be so difficult to remove it. Unless rust is the answer. From the manual it does not appear that there is any other fastener. It is an automatic.

Sometimes it does take quite a bit of effort to make that o-ring let go and come out. Takes a little to get it back in to. I had to yank on my speedo cable pretty good last time to jar it loose.

Dry shop rag and the circular motion I stated....
It that does not work, use a shop rag and a #2 flat tip and wrap the rag around the cable and twist the rag with the screwdriver, like making a tourniquet and then pull.
You do not want to crush the outer cable.
