It's more common to see fourth gens keep the electronic speedo, since most thirdgens where cable.

 

i installed the painless wiring adaptor and also the gears. the gears mesh well and i cant get a reading on the speedometer. what wires am i supposed to hook to where? thanks in advance

 

Here is my problem i am putting in a newer 700r4 tranny in replace of my 1986 700r4. they both are 30 spline. but the one i am putting in is electronic how can i convert back to cable on the electronic speedo sensor. i heard you can pull the cable module off and put it in replace the electronic sensor is this true?. any info please need help. i have both transmissions out so it wont' be hard to do just need info if i need to do any modifications?

 

If yours is like mine, you can swap them out, yes. Borg Warner has a part with BOTH TYPES of connections on it, in case you should ever need. I cannot recall the part number, but I remember that it cost about $100 or so, and It was stocked in a couple O'Reilly Warehouses nationwide. Might take a couple days for them to network it to ya, but really is a cool idea!
