That's what I thought. I was having a conversation with someone recently who
was looking for a new speedometer gear for his 97 to correct after a gear and
tire swap. I was under the impression the speedometers were sensor driven
after 93 or 94 and the group of people we were with kept saying I was talking
out my ass. They all insist it was cable driven until mid 98 and I could have
sworn my 96 was electric.
