when i did my auto-5spd swap, my speedo cable broke. im just getting around to fixing it. haha. lazy me. well anyways, i went to two places and nothing. i had no other choice but to go to the dealer. i ordered it and they said it should be there tomorrow. my question was, if there was no cable hooked up to where it comes out of the tranny, would there be a leak?

Yes there will be a leak. If you choose to drive without cable go to Auto parts store and buy a hose clamp and a 5/8th black stopper in help section. I think they are called block offs or something. attach that and it will solve leak.

It the cable housing in the tranny still... the part with the gear? If so, you shouldn't have issues as the fluid doesn't flow through the cable.

the gear is still in the tranny. its just the cable isnt there. i drove it like this already to the parts store, when i got out i checked to see if there was a leak, and no. so should i be ok?

You'll be fine...
