Unfortunately, it is a 2 pin and the signal is completely different as far as i know.

My mk4 escort will have the speedo working with a MTX75 from a Focus RS later in spring.

We have made a box that takes the signal from the gearbox speed sensor and via a raspberry Pi computer it controls a motor attached to the speedo cable. Fully tested on the bench and fully calibrate able via Smart phone.
Could you please share some more details about this setup please?
