1986 RX7 with 1995 turbo 2 inquiry

I have a 1986 RX7 Turbo but the entire powertrain is from a 1995 RX7 Turbo 2. I’m trying to make my speedometer work properly but there is a cover on the transmission to connect the speedometer to it.

What kind of parts I need to buy in order to make the speedometer work?

Are the transmission similar or somewhat compatible?
maybe some adapters?
thanks

so ... you have an FD powertrain in your '86?

look in this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/build-thread...1045323/page6/

djSL (the owner) uses a GPS-based adapter for his Rx-8 transmission. maybe you can get some details from him.

not sure how i forgot this one, but i should have linked this with the thread i linked above. both are very informative on many levels, but in particular, they have information that should be useful to you.
