Exactly right, on an auto car, the speedometer cable came through the firewall where the clutch cable needs to be. You'll have to remove the plug above and slightly to the driver's side and re-route the speedometer cable there so that you can place the clutch cable where it should be. The auto speedometer cable is longer than the T5 cable. It'll work, but its well worth the $22 to go get a T5 cable when doing the switch. It'll keep it from binding and last much longer.
