the gearbox with the mechanical speedo uses a vss (vehicle speed sender) that is part of the speedo clocks. this generates a pulse from 0-5 volts that gives the ecu the info on how fast the car is running so it can control the icv etc... 
 
in an electronic sender there is no vss in the clocks, the pulse is generated by the hall sender that is in the gearbox.   
 
the pulse generated is the same as the mechanical vss pulse. 
 
as long as you by-pass the vss in the mechanical clocks it will work fine.
