| There is a switch at the upper most part of the clutch pedal which must be closed in order to complete the starter circuit. This switch is a safety precaution against starting in gear. This switch is easily disabled by using a short piece of wire. At the top of the clutch pedal lever, near it's swing point or axis, is a limit switch with a button that presses against the clutch pedal lever. Two wires are attached to a connector. Disconnect the connector. In the female connector (the end with the wires still attached) insert a small U-shaped wire to close the circuit. I used a short piece of copper wire hammered it down until it was about the size and shape of a large staple. Fit both prongs into the connector, and tape off the exposed part of the wire (it is hot). That's it, you are finished. The circuit is always closed [as if the clutch is fully depressed thereby closing the switch]. CAUTION: ALWAYS be certain you are in NEUTRAL, BEFORE you engage the starter motor. If you are in gear, the car will leap forward 12-18" on the torque of the starter. Not Good. I modified the clutch switch to allow me to start the car while outside of the cabin... when I am working around the engine and don't want to have to get into the car and press the clutch just to start the motor. Older cars did not have this feature so I am used to always knocking the shifter to the left to insure it's in neutral before I turn the key. It's second nature to me.
