speedo cable melted to header

so my speedo cable melted to my header and stopped working. so i got a replacement one from autostoned, and THIS one doesnt seem to be working right either. i pulled my VSS out to check my gear it looks fine. and when i spin it by hand you can feel the cable inside move. but when i stick my finger in the hole of the trans i dont feel my drive gear??? i just feel smooth metal. my guess is i busted my drive gear. but that seems like it would be a tough piece to break versus just breaking something on the cable... you'd think it would mess up my driven gear too...

^ i did replace the cable, the gear thats connected to the VSS will spin the cable by hand, but when i put it in the trans, it won't spin at all when i turn the driveshaft. i've already got everything off pretty much, i just need to figure out how to get the extension housing apart from the rest of the transmission... it seems stuck on there pretty good even though all the bolts are out
