Electronic speedo to mechanical speedo
Hey guys,
I recently downgraded the atlas 4 speed in my jeep. I got a fairly low mileage np231 off someone and it has the electronic speedo gear. (the blue one with a short shaft). I have an 87 laredo cherokee with a mechanical speedo, and I got the mechanical speedo gear (orange with a long shaft) my question is, what do I need to do to make it work? It doesn't seem as though the gears will seperate from the shafts otherwise I'd just swap them. Any ideas? Thanks.

Here is one, it's pricey but it's supposed to work fine. I've read some reviews on it and it's 50/50.

There is a guy on ls1tech.com that's in the middle of R&D on a better system.

There is also a thread here that might have the info needed.
