can't you just poke/stab/hammer it out with a thin bladed screwdriver or something?

If you're really stuck, disconnect it from the instrument binacel and feed it through the bulk head. Once the gearbox is off the car, it should be a little easier to get access to it ;)

 

If the large end has come off though, it should pull straigh through from the thin end side once stretched enough.

Undo the bolt that holds the plastic part into the gearbox and pull the whole thing out. At least then you can move that end of the cable into an easier position to push the rubber stopper out.
