Which of these is the speedometer sensor wire?
 
I’m pulling the engine and transmission on my 1984 Targa.

I’ve disconnected the shift coupler and I think the speedometer connection is one of these wires… but which one and what are the other wires?

The 2 brown/red wires are for the speedo sensor. I'd need to look at a wiring diagram when I get home for the other 2. It looks like they are brown/yellow?

I know that JW recommended you to pull those wires... but I have always removed the sensors attached to the side of the gearbox and hang it out of the way. There is no need to mess with the wires in the tunnel. Just me.

Is that the wires on the left or right side of the photo above?

The connector under the tie wrap is speedo. Disconnect the wires and remove with the engine and trans. If u leave the wires behind u have to cut hard to reach and hard to replace factory reusable wire ties. U have to open the rear cover to undo the shift coupler so disconnect the wire connector there. As a line and unit mechanic for 50 yrs I hate short cut approaches to these jobs.
