Ford did have gears on the bottom of the cable that ran both ways. I think it depended on what side of the trans that the cable went into.

I just put a what is apparently a 57 FOM in my 56 car and discovered a couple of differences that I had to contend with.Namely the mount on the X-member and the shifter.I got both of these problems ironed out without too much trouble,but after I got all finished with the install and started it up,I find my speedometer turning backwards.Anyone know if the drive gear is opposite in the 57 transmission?
