The lower portion housing has to come out with the cable so there is no reason not to replace that part. Hope this helps someone down the line…run a guide wire when you remove the upper housing!!!

Funny, I had a harder time with the lower cable when I did mine. The problem for me was getting the clip and rubber boot on correctly, combined with getting my hand all the way down there. I thought far enough ahead to tie a string to the speedo cable before I pulled it out - a lesson learned when I first did a speedo cable replacement in my Civic.
I also agree with your statement about replcaing the cable altogether, based on how relatively inexpensive it is - but to some people, $29 may not be readily available.
