Default 968 Speedo with a 944T trans problems.

1992 968 with a transaxle from a 944T. IIRC the 944 speedo works from the transaxle, the 968 does not. The car is new to me. I have cleaned any metal filing from the ABS wheels. I don't have a plan to solve this. Any insight?

You will need to get a signal for the speedo, there is no sender on the 968 trans, the 968 uses the ABS brain. Here is one option:

There might be a GPS based pulse generator you can use these days also:

I think you need 6000 pulses per mile? Ideally that'd be something you can calibrate.

Check the blue relay in the fuse panel...the speedo doesn't need any transmission input to work...

Oh sorry I had it backwards, I thought you had a 944 with a 968 trans which needs the sender. The 968 needs a working ABS brain and the wheel inputs.

Is your abs light on in dashboard?

Slam on your brakes while driving on a quiet back road to test the function of abs! If the brakes don’t lock up and abs is working than you most likely have a issue with your dashboards gauges. Specifically the speedo which could be failed or wire shorte d or broken on back plug. Just remember if you take your steering wheel off and unplug airbag to get to gauges leave battery unhooked until airbags plugged back in!
