Speedo: Electrical or Manual

Speedo: Electrical or Manual
As the title emplies I am changing out my cluster for a set of guages. I am looking for a new Speedometer guage.
However, it is my understanding the 91 Mustang hatch I got has a speed sensor located on the transmission with both an electrical sensor for the computer and a manual cable which goes up through the firewall and to the speedometer guage.
Do I have to use a manual guage or can I use an electrical guage somehow and still let the computer know what the speed is as well?
I am looking at the Glowshift Elite 7 guages.
Any help on what exactly I'll need to do would be appreciated. Thanks again!

Is this a 5 speed or a 6 speed trans you have? I would stay mechanical as the electronic speedometer options are small and in a separate gauge in itself. Unless you are looking to do a florida50 style setup using individual gauges I would stick with mechanical. If you do have a six speed there is an adapter that I know for a fact d&d transmissions sells for them. About the computer, it gets the signal from the trans itself right? So if you had an electrical gauge that would not change where the computer gets the signal from. I could be wrong but I think this is where you want to be.

I'm going to go by this is a manual trans, if not the following could easily be voided.
