Speedo Sensor- I Think I'm Screwed!

I managed to get the speed sensor out of the car and onto the bench. My initial analysis from the top of the engine of a broken wire was incorrect. On the bench I was able to get a "make/break" signal using an ohmmeter as well as a small AC voltage signal by spinning the geared end of the sensor. The actual gear to the sensor looked to be in good shape with little wear. With the unit in the car and the front of the car up on stands, engine running in 1st gear and the front wheels turning, I could not get anything from the sensor.
The obvious conclusion is that the gearbox is not spinning the sensor. Now I've read all the previous posts and was particularly freaked out by the one report that a repair at the gearbox end of this problem results in a teardown of the gearbox. Is this for real or is there another way? Am I into a dealer visit (some 3.5 hours away) or is there another possibility? Any suggestions at all?
As a point of reference, car is a '96 9K CS, 5 spd, with about 165K kms on it. The speedo quit functioning after a shift with a cold gearbox in -15C weather. Thanks for any suggestions.
