Yes, when you remove the speedo cable, and take out the speedo drive, you will lose some gearbox oil - quite a bit actually if the car is level on a ramp, and it comes out rapidly!
If you can jack the car up front and back just on the side of the speedo drive, it should minimise the amount of oil lost.
