You have an aftermarket mechanical speedometer? Usually they are electronic and I think that would be easier. The Mazda speedometer takes the mechanical cable rotation and creates an electronic pulse. If you car has cruise control this is output on a green wire with red stripe from the gauge cluster. I've tapped into it where it enters the cruise module for my nav system.
