obd2 G/box on a obd1 t5?

[merc85]

Hi, i need a New gearbox, Big Rotch has one but it's from a obd2 850 95-where the speedo is read from the cv joints/abs pick up.

My 94 855 t5 has speed sensor pick up on the side of the box.

Is it possible to wire into the abs sensor's on my obd1 car so i can use his obd2 850 t5 box? if so how?

Also would i have to Change the Speedo Head/instrument cluster to the obd2 one? this he also has.

Any help much apreciated.

yeh you just need to take the wires off the speed sensor on the gearbox & wire them to one of the ABS speed sensors. Instrument cluster & everything else will be fine. I've got to it myself yet

Yes, its possible, gotta do it to mine :)

Speedo plug is red (is on mine) just solder the wires on to the ones from the N/S ABS sensor, I'm fairly certain it doesn't matter which way around you connect them either.

Would the OBD2 Speedo work? on this set up?
