You're going to have it cut it down, and even then I'm not sure if you'll get it to fit in the column/dash area. I tried that first and the housing just stuck down so far I wasn't happy with it. Looked like a knee basher to me. Be careful with that stamped steel column support too, you can watch it move ~1/16" of an inch just cycling the wheels with no load, if you cut it please beef it back up.

You will most likely need to cut the shafts, that thing is huge with the stock shafts, and the orientation of the column shaft is right into the clutch pedal.

Sleeve the cut shafts with .750 OD .049" wall SS tube, and install 3/4 smooth bore U-joints on them with whatever connections you need on the opposite ends. Pin with .250" dowels/shoulder bolts and weld in for comfort if necessary. Dont use .125" dowels, they snapped on me just cycling the system (I tried them first due to the small shaft size and the OE .125" pin in the system).

How are you hooking up the equinox VSS? Its a reluctor ring with a hall effect sensor right?
