The clutch cable hole, won't fit anything bigger than 4GA.

And on V8s, the TCU is in the way making it a real pain in the posterior to run it through.

Mine is through the clutch cable hole, it's only 4GA, but I LEFT it there when I changed my car over to V8, didn't even come out of the hole, still managed to fit the TCU up in there properly, that being said, I dont really like the idea of running it through the clutch cable hole on mine, because I might want to convert it to Manual one day down the track.

i think making a new hole was the best idea because the grommet i got went through the fire wall and had a bug nut that went on the outside and half it onto the fire wall and when the wire was through it it had a different nut they sealed it so it couldn't move
