There are plastic gears on the inside of the tranny where the cable 
connects to it. Depending on what tranny you have, there may be a plate to 
remove and get to the gear set. Might have one of the stripped. They are 
calibrate by the number of teeth on them. To many and or to less teeth and 
the speedometer will be un calibrated.   Be careful using a drill as suggested,
an awkward angle on the cable can cause it to break and ruin a good speedo 
cable.   --wayne
