My friend changed my tranny from the TH350 to '93 700R4 and somehow he
adapted the tail-housing on there so my speedo works (although it reads
fast, 70mph is really 55mph).

 One more question. What's the trick on the gear

I had to change the cable and screw with different brackets.  It was a major
pain in the @SS!  An aftermarket shifter is probably the best bet but I
didn't have the $$$.  Good luck.
