its a little of both. there's a speedo gear in both the transmission and on the connector. but part of the connector is a sensor for the gear, if that makes sense lol. its an electrical speedo but it gets its signal 2 gears.

when you say drive assembly, what do u mean? i know that there is no cable connected to the back of the speedo. im just going to change the speed sensor and if that doesnt work then its the gear. correct?
