MR2 speedo cable = snapped?

My speedo stopped working yesterday, (1990 NA SW20) I would imagine due to a snapped speedo cable.

Has anyone replaced this before?
Or alternatively, are there any other possible causes?

I would imagine it would be a PITA job to do, if it is the cable.

Check the pin that comes off the speedo driven gear inside the gearbox, mine rounded off so didnt drive anymore

Cost like $18 for Toyota for a replacement.
I also have a new driven gear here if thats your problem

i think my wire is fraying. it sometimes reads and sometimes doens't. Does anyone have an engine diagram or links to, of when there wire goes from, i dont know what to look for in the engine bay, behind the cluster looks all good.

tis a cable on the back of the gearbox, prety hard to miss, its not a wire as such well not in the electrical sence.
