Depending on how high the curbs are where you are at you can drive your drivers side front and rear tires up on the curb. It will still be a tight fit, but I've been there and done that.

ok, i just installed it here at work, all inside the car. i guess having small hands pays off it was a tight ass fit, but i was able to get the vss plug off and back on and its all working great now!

Will the speedcal fit a 97 AUTO and if so do you need to take the shifter out as I have looked and dont see anyway possible of doing this? Help me out guys that have installed it on your car, especially if its an auto. Thanks

What's a speedcal, what does it look like, what does it do and why would someone buy one?

The speedcal will work in an auto equipped 97 GT.

A speedcal looks like a box with a large wire running out of it. It allows you to keep your odometer and speedometer accurate when changing rear gears and tire size where a chip or tune cannot.
