I have a new to me 96 Legacy Outback with a manual transmission. Having had clutches most of my life I have found that this one is different.

 

It seems I must have the clutch all the way in to the floor before the engine will start.

 

Is there a way to either disable it or to adjust it?

Cars have been this way for years, this is nothing new.

 

Do you have cruise control? I dont remember is this switch is tied into the cruise. If it is I would just get used to it. If its not, just jump the terminal on the switch.

I haven't looked closely at Subaru's setup, but most MT cars I've seen have one clutch switch for the cruise/engine control computer and another for the starter inhibit. You can look to see what's by the clutch pedal up under the dash; if there are two switches, pull the connector off one of them and see if the car will start at all. If not, you've found the right one. Jumper it and you're all set.
