Pressed in speedometer gear?
I gleefully went to connect my 1980 threaded speedometer cable and discovered this:
I do have this, which would work with my cable:
but the old pressed in unit is not budging. I tried a small propane torch to no avail. It seems all listed SA/FB cables are universal. I’m stating to lean towards drilling this out piece by piece. I’m sure there is a less savage non Camaro way of solving this.

Well, W.T.F.
That is a weird aftermarket mod. And obv a PITA. The separate gear piece you show is correct, of course. Head-scratcher to swap them out, esp w/o damaging the TX housing. At least you have the gearbox out off the car to make it easier to correct. Wish I had an idea. Others will!

So this may not be a Mazda part?!?

Assuming you can't remove the weird one without damaging the case, and if the output shaft rotates as it should (does it?) then could you make an adapter?
If you're okay cutting up your Mazda part
Take the top part (shell?) and and attach it to the transmission case something like this...the blue is the existing weird part and the grey is the threaded bit form the proper part.
