The transaxle I have is from a Audi 5000 Turbo... and has a mechanical
speedo gear (which rotates, but has been cut).

1. Is there a electronic speedo gear that can be obtained?  Was it an
option on Any of the Audi 5000's?  Maybe aftermarket?

2. Does anyone know how many turns per mile this cable/gear would be
rotated?  If so, I can easily retrofit an electronic hall effect sensor to
the cable when I replace it if an existing sensor is not available.

I called around to various suppliers, no luck.  Any info would be mucho
appreciated :)
