you can swap them fine just be sure its mechanical for mechanical or electronic for electronic. simply meaning what is giving the speedo its info either a trans driven cable or a sensor pickup.

but yes you can swap them and it will work fine. the speedo gears in the trans actually set the speed on the speedo. so if you change rear gears you have to change speedo gears in the trans otherwise it will read wrong.
