My question is this. I am not sure if the cable has been removed from the housing before. Which end of the cable goes to the speedo, The one with the retaining nut like end or the one without.
I have the correct small end attachment nut at the speedo. It also appears that the tail shaft gear may be damaged and not driving the cable. More trouble shooting ahead.

It should have a small retaining washer on the upper end behind the square tip. The cable can be removed and lubed with a small amount of white grease on the lower 3/4 of the cable. The grease will work it's way up the cable. Remove the driven gear from the transmission and check it out.
