finally starting my 5 speed! and an SUS ?

so i got put on 3rd shift last week and now have the time to do my 5 speed swap! i started pulling the motor and tranny yesterday, all i have left to do is take the motor mounts off and she SHOULD come right out! im gonna do the valve covers, thats why im taking the motor out. i got a tranny out of a 94 impreza and my question to you is how do i make the speedometer work? i was looking at it yesterday and there is no speed sensor on it, that i can see. and i know it cant just magically work, they cant make stuff that simple! also what kinds of clutches do you guys run? i want something that is going to be pretty stout!
also where is the best place to get the valve cover kit? with the spark plug and bolt hole gaskets as well? i called subaru today and he said they would run me about 260$$

and for the SUS question, lol. anyone know what gears are in the legacy sus? i need to do a rear diff on one.

thanks and sorry for all the questions,
sry in advanced as well because there will probably be more stupid questions as well!!

The 5-Speed SUS will have 4.11's in it....

You use the speed sensor out of the SVX 4EAT tranny, it will mount right into the 5-speed cable location (have you read my write up?)

Several on-line Subaru parts places have the gaskets, usually much cheaper than a local dealer...

It's pretty tight with the engine in, and he probably doesn't have those little girlie hands like you do Tom.
