i need a little more detail as far as what your trying to do. What transmission are you planning on using? Also, are you trying to get the Mazda speedometer to cooperate with an electrical sender?

i cant look at the link here at work. But im not too sure how you would adapt from a oem mechanical source. Most of the styles i have seen used for custom applications revolve about a magnetic pickup

im unsure how it would operate in our transmissions being that ours is meant for mechanical drive and those american transmissions listed i have no information on. I dont know if it would adapt or is a replacement for an oem electrical system.
