On the 1985.5 and UP Porsche 944, the odometer reset button is just to the right of the instrument cluster set into the left side of the vent, disguised as a fin. Just give it a push and you're done.
However, when these were assembled in the factory, the workers put a dab of grease on the gear to keep it lubed. The problem with this is that the plastic, over time, breaks down because of this grease, which caused it to crumble in your fingers. You would get in your car, drive away and hit the reset button, only to have it not work.
Most folks would blame the fact the car/gears were moving when the button was pushed, but this is not the case. The fix for this problem is to replace the old gear with a newer NYLON gear. It's not a fix for the feint of heart as the whole instrument cluster has to be removed and the speedometer/odometer housing disassembled, gear put in, springs and gears realigned, (clean out old crumbled bits from the Odo gear being replaced) and then put back it all back together again. (Did this on two 944s. Not a hard job, just tricky).
Once replaced with the nylon gear, you should have NO fear of pushing that reset button again.
