theres a wire from the back of the gauge cluster to the ecu. the cluster converts the spinning cable into a signal

Shouldn't be too hard to get a paper clip to work or find a used one from someone. But that is correct the cluster converts the mechanical input to an analog signal to the ecu.

yes but you can also disable the VSS in the ECU so it wont look for it.
