Clutch start switch — replacement

1. Check the pedal height, pedal free play and pushrod play (see Tune-up and routine maintenance).

2. Verify that the engine will not start when the clutch pedal is released.

3. Verify that the engine will start when the clutch pedal is depressed all the way.

4. The clutch start switch is located on a bracket forward of the clutch pedal (under the dash).

5. If the switch fails either of the tests, replace it. This is accomplished by removing the nut nearest the plunger end of the switch and unscrewing the switch. Disconnect the wire harness. Installation is the reverse of removal.

6. To adjust the clutch start switch, depress the clutch pedal completely and turn the switch in or out to achieve the spacing of the original switch.

7. Verify that the switch operates properly by performing Steps 2 and 3 again.
