GPS... Not the most encouraging answer, but it was to the point.

I don't want to be a kill joy, but it might be easier to sell your manuel (no I did NOT misspell that) trans and buy a Dodge trans with a converter/valve body/input shaft mod. Unfortunately, this isn't easy like putting a Power Glide behind your 440, huh.

nah, i want nothing to do with a dodge auto. this swap is gunna cost me no more than 200$ compared to building a junk dodge tranny for 4k. and it would pry just spill its guts out again anyways. not having the spedometer isnt the end of the world. but like i said. id really enjoy having it!!

i'm not sure,but i think you my be able to tap into your wheel speed sensors and run it to one of the pcs inputs, then configure an output signal for your speedo. It will take some enginuity and a little programming but it just might work.
