I have successfully shortened my cable. I started by cutting the squared end off to the proper length. I then cleaned the cable end thoroughly with brake cleaner to get all the oils out. Then scuff the last inch of the cable very clean and braze the end of the cable (tin it with the brazing rod & acetylene torches. I then carefully re-squared the end on a bench grinder until the speedo gear fit. As far as the outer casing goes, I cut the jacket just outside the transmission end. Drill the rest of the casing out of the end and JB weld it back onto the casing after it is cut to the proper length.
