1996 NV3500 5 speed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So my gf and I have been looking for a 4 or 5 speed trans for her 80 Z28, of course I have found a few V8 T5's from 80's camaros but the price is too high for what could easily be a broken box.

Then I found a guy parting out a 96 S10 4.3, he is selling the 5 speed for 75 bucks. The 4.3L is 285ft lbs factory, and V8 S10 guys are using these units with no problems. Should be good enough for our 3.8L V6 turbo engine.

My only hangup is going to be if these trans have an electronic speedo output only, if there is no mechanical speedo output this option is kaput. Can someone confirm or deny this?
