This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I need to really push the clutch pedal HARD against the floor to get the starter to engage. During operation, the clutch pedal is final, options?

You may need to get the clutch lockout switch replaced at the pedal. if that's what it is, it's a cheap fix.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I will give that a try, the part is like $35.00

POST 4Original post

POST 5Original post

My carpet mat slides forward while driving and prevents the clutch from traveling far enough to activate the switch. Short moment of panic every time. I decided to just eliminate the switch so I could make cold starts without depressing the clutch (and quit fiddling with the carpet mat).

POST 6Original post

Elimination seems like a good plan. Will help to extend thrust bearing life too. I'm assuming its just a case of wiring the ends together and bingo it works.

POST 7Original post

Quotes source post: 14557176

Yes. I went a little fancy and used one of those 2 into 1 spade connectors and just plugged into one of the switch terminals and then plugged the two switch connectors into it. I can reverse it any time in about a minute.

POST 8Original post

I was thinking about a small switch, would be great as a theft deterrent, assuming people still steal cars!!

POST 9Original post

I like this idea. I think I will do that with mine.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
