Do you need to jack up the car to put it on? I'm picking my car up in NJ and bringing it down to FL and wanted to put it on before I head back. I'm pretty skinny and was hoping I could just squeeze under the car to get it on.
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks for the info. I'm picking it up at Kerbeck on Wednesday.

Just be sure to tie off the loose end of the harness to the tab on the tranny....there's a convenient hole for the tie-wraps that come with the CAGS kits. Enjoy

It would be impossible to get under there, see what you're doing and manipulate your arms to do this without jacking the car up. Make sure you follow safe jacking precautions; most importantly get jack stands. If you don't have them yet, may as well get them. If you hang around here long enough, you're gonna be using them!

Newby question... I have the CAGS eliminator and jacked up the car but how in the world do you get your hand on the top of the transmission if that is where the plug is? I was expecting the plug to be on the side and obviously gave up after not finding it.
