BTW, agreed - slide the cable out at the speedo end. Most likely no need to disconnect it at the tranny.  Glad that Zed Head brought that up.

Thank you for the suggestion. I ended up grabbing the cable at the speedo end with a pair of vice grips and pulled it out about an inch an change. It definitely needed some force. After that I realigned the cable with the speedo and felt a much more significant "drop-in" than previous attempts. Turned the car on and it worked like a charm. Thanks again, super helpful.

Does anyone know how to reinstall correctly the speedometer and tachometer in a 1972 240z without removing the dashboard? Trying to find pictures or videos on youtube but no luck yet. Anyone? 

From that thread you posted in in 2018. Seems like you should use the FSM?
