Replacing the speedometer drive gear requires complete disassembly of the transmission. Note however this is not the only possible source of speedometer issues, and I have to wonder why the issue is only present above 35 mph. You should be VERY, VERY concerned about this symptom, as this will instantly add about $3000+ to the cost of the lower priced car (i.e. rebuilt trans, clutch kit, slave rebuild, rear main seal and install) - not sure if you can check it out without taking it to a mechanic (one can drive speedo sender with an electric drill perhaps?).
Transmission life expectancy depends on maintenance, driver behavior, and luck of the draw. One data point: a bearing (output shaft bearing?) in the manual trans in my 1994 with 179,000 just died, despite good care since I have owned the car (last 65,000 miles) and less power than an Aero.
