Started driving my 5spd swap, no speedo?

Like the topic says, I get no speedometer reading while driving. Does anyone know off hand what harness this is and what wires I need to tap to retrofit it on the tranny? Can't seem to make sense of the FSM...

You will get a code for speed sensor if speedo is not working properly, I would look at the speed sensor and work your way back, it is on the top of the trans there is a picture in the I30 section thread "speed sensor location" not too old a few weeks. Not positive that your 99 isn't different from 96-97 I30 like that picture but it might help.

forget the freaking FSM for this, theres 2 harnesses on the 5spd, one is for speedo(sits on top of the transmission and has a white sleeve) the other is the park/neutral switch which is at the bottom of the tranny under the fill plug.... It has a grey sleeve with about 6 or 8 wires on it, the Speedo only has 2 I believe....
