Is there a truly "drop-in" replacement battery that doesn't need sawing or shimming?

I don't remember doing any modification with the Autozone Duralast battery.

Default Ditto.
Unfortunately the TT has had several slightly different battery holders, even in the same model year. One model of non-OEM battery will drop right in one TT whiel other TTs require significant hacking. There is no way to tell without removing your old battery first.
