They went to the electrical speedometer in '87, more or less, and those spedometers were built to expect a cretain number of holes in the tone ring in the diff. Later on, when ABS was added to the cars, they changed the number of holes in the tone ring, to better suit the ABS function, and changed the speedometers accordingly.

Changing the rear axle and doing all that wiring is a pretty big PITA if the axle is in otherwise fine condition. I'd try seeing if you could get that VDO gauge working properly. Or failing that, perhaps one of those fancy GPS speedometers?
