    Looks like the housing for the parking brake or speedo cable. Been so long since I took mine apart I don't remember where they came through the firewall!

    Yes, it does look like the speedo cable and in its condition, looks like you will need a new one, as the metal housing on the end that is inserted into the transmission is missing........do you remember if the speedo was working before taking everything apart?
