Cmayna, That's what threw me off:
- I already knew that the cable was broken (speedo was not working).
- I retreived the remnants of the cable (an inch or so of exploded wire sticking from the trans).
- There was NOTHING connected to the speedo drive at the trans, but...
It seems that with no cable to help 'center' the rotation, the drive was turning with a slight offset, grinding against the drive outlet in the transmission...

So this morning, bummed out about that awful noise, I decided to at least install a new cable core. I was VERY pleased with the outcome...
