According to my Haynes Service manual

1992 and later models use an electronic speedo which gets it's speed signal from the rear anti-lock brake speed sensor

That is the correct. From 92-on, Ford used a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) which also doubles as the anti-lock brake sensor.

I think you would be further ahead to get another M5OD manual tranny. Many junkyards around here and even Ebay has them.

No problem! You're the first person to respond to the song in my signature! Congrats! lol.

If you need help finding a transmission, let me know. I've got pretty good connections. Where are you located by the way?
