Default Speedo cable VSS to work JDM Sir cluster?

Hi, I know the cluster topic has had its run, but I am really desperate and I cant find conclusive answers to this question!

I have read here and there that it might be possible to use my CRX Si's current cable cluster's VSS to work the new JDM Sir cluster by leaving the old VSS hidden behind the new cluster and tapping its VSS signal to the new cluster.

IS THIS POSSIBLE? or is the VSS signal from the cable VSS different in its signal output than the electric gearbox VSS?

Before I start the whole process of sorting out the hundreds of wires for rewiring I would like to know of this would work! Will the speedometer show speed?

Thanks

I'm in the middle of the swap right now, and I was glad to be rid of the cable and just run some wires. I got a VSS from a manual EG (92-95) and I tested it on the bench, and it worked fine. The VSS only cost me $5.25 at the local pick your part yard.

My only headache right now is sourcing a fuel sending unit from a EF wagon for the low fuel light functionality. Got a few people looking for me.

make sure you post about when you figure out about the low fuel light.. I practically ran my car out of gas to see if mine worked, obviously it didnt. But would love to figure out how to fix it/make it work...

You need electronic VSS to make the jdm cluster work.
