Aftermarket speedometer question

Hello I'm pretty dumb when it comes to electrical. I bought a autometer speedometer can I just connect the gauge to the sensor on the transfer case? Or do I need to go a different route?

Free bump...

I don't think too many here have installed aftermarket gauges in our XJ's. Hopefully someone here can help out.

Update on this... I spliced the white wire that goes into the speed sensor on the transfercase left everything else plugged in, calibrated the Autometer speedometer which was very easy to do. Then bam I had a working speed gauge. It was that simple
