I don't know if the cressida sensor will work with the w5x, but being an auto sensor my money would be on no rather than yes. But definitely don't need cable speedo, i have w58 in mine with JZX81 dash. Don't know what sensor was used though sorry

Why not swap with this fellow if you have the cable stuff:

Chances are the MX83 speedo sensor will just screw on to the speedo gear housing, which is exactly how the speedo cable would have connected to the W58.

If it doesn't (ie, its a bolt on sensor), then you'll need to get a screw on one.

Even if you went mech how would you connect it to the dash?
