speedometer dilemma

Well i swapped out my auto for a 5 speed back in June. The problem is my old auto was cable driven speedo, new 5spd is digital. My speedo cable is shot and stopped working a week before the 5spd swap i also think it stripped out the gauge cause the speedo cable was spinning in there. what should i do to get a speedometer again? i was thinking maybe i could get a digital gauge cluster and just run the wires to the gauge cluster? for $100 i could buy a gps unit and just use that speedo lol. i really would like to fix it though but don't know which way to go or what to do about it. what should i do?

it is quite hard first you have figure out what type of digital dash gm used cathode tubes and leds back then it would be like building a computer from ground up
