will an older speed sensor plug to the wire harness of my year?
It's not a sensor, it's a cable driven speedometer. The sensor part is for the 4x4 lights on the cluster

Your probably going to have to find a late model TC or tailconle to fix.. I beleave you could do it by doing a SYE upgrade.
Sye wil not work either still reusing speedo parts with the sye .

You need this assembly off of a xj your year. If yours is automatic get one from a automatic same if yours is 5 speed. Must also be same engine size so the attached gear will be calibrated for correct mph . If you have over size tires a different gear most be used for proper calibration......
