Default Chewing up speedo cables... help!

I have a 92 Integra that was an auto and I converted to Manual with a 91LS tranny... about 10k later it chewed up my speedo cable and i replaced it and it worked for a while... yesterday the speedo stopped working again after makign a whining noise behind the dash for a few miles... looked at the end of the speedo in the VSS and the internals of the wire were pulled out like 4 inches beyond the tip of the rubber sheath... so I guess my speedo cables are beign pulled outof my gauge cluster somehow... wtf?

You have nothing holding it in and you are wondering why it popped out? Am I reading that correctly?

whatever i use to hold in... the actual wire inside the cable gets pulled out of its sheath and CHEWED UP even if the plastic surround doesnt pop out.
