Did you verify that both ends of the cable were seated correctly (into the gauge and snapped into place and at driven gear)?

What I used to do with my 82 was connect it yo the dash and feed it out through the correct route. After that I would either spin the transmission end of the cable by finger and have someone watch the gauge. Or I would lock a drill on it and lock the drills trigger on then check myself..
