It will definitely affect the speedo.

No, it's 100% the ECU. There's actually no sensor in the transmission or rear end at all, the ECU uses the wheel speed sensors (ABS/TC/VSC) to calculate the vehicle speed. This is why changing the final drive doesn't affect the speedo at all, only a change in tire diameter will affect it.
