How about a bilge picker?

Or, for you non-submarine types, a slinky metal tube thing with a claw on the end.

I got the speedo cable today and...

the metal core sticks to the magnet.

but, I do not know if the magnet will fit in the transmission end.

I will try this weekend...

Thanks for the ideas...

I changed the speedo cable...

The magnet did not work. I ended up using a long flat needle plyers to pull about one inch of cable. I took a lot of pictures with a possible DIY article....Where can I get a web host to post the pictures...? I am web challenged!

Thanks!
