April 26, 200718 yr For the past couple days I've noticed that sometimes I have to push the clutch pedal extra hard to get the starter to crank and tonight it finally woulnd't even click. I checked the connections at the battery and the starter and all are good. I'm pretty positive that it is the neutral safety switch. Is it just out of adjustment or failing? Since this is my daily driver I need it to start everytime I turn the key to start, so what should I do? Try to repair the switch, readjust it, or bypass it?
April 26, 200718 yr Do you mean the clutch switch? Neutral saftey switch is not affected by how far you depress the clutch, but the clutch switch is. It is adjustable. Been a while since i have had a stick, as i always disabled my clutch switch unless it was needed for the cruise. nipper
April 26, 200718 yr Author Yes must be the clutch switch I'm talking about. The one that will keep the starter from engaging if the clutch pedal isn't depressed.
April 26, 200718 yr You can just jump it. The switch closes when you depress the clutch. But it sounds like you may just need to adjust it or replace it. nipper
