Default Speedo cable removed from Tranny

Now my transmission leaks gear oil (Manual 4 speed). Any way to plug the hole in tranny until I get a replacement cable?

Where exactly is the leak? Are you sure it is not the o-ring on the housing for the speedo gear?

Since I had no leak before I removed the cable, I presume it is because (as I understand) transmission oil is splashed up in that area and without the cable it leaks out. Any ideas anyone?

Sounds like one of the orings in the speedo gear housing is worn out. Pull the housing out and check whether the gear shaft is worn out or the o-ring that seals it. Replace wither or both and it should be good.
