The early 944's have a conventional speedometer cable going from the drivers side front wheel hub to the rear of the speedometer housing in the dash. The square drive end of the cable extends through the back of the spindle; then through a square hole in the grease cap of the left front wheel, where it is held in place by a small c-clip. It is visible if you remove the left front wheel or the wheel center cap.
All 85.5's and newer models all have an electronic sensor screwed into the transaxle.
