Everytime I start my car I have to push the clutch in super hard to start the car.

can i either
A) adjust that position?
or
B) pull out a fuse so you dont have to push the clutch in?

thanks

its called the neutral safty switch you can disconnect it and the adjust ment screw is under the dash by the top of the clutch pedal

it could also be your floor mate restricting your clutch going all the way down try pulling it back towards the seat more

NSXchink

in dont think it s the floor mat, it might be that adjustment screw?

idk the adjustment screw usually changes where the chutch cactches and the maount of play it has in it but guve it a try if all else fail seach for the nuetral safty switch location and jus disconnect it but make sur u still push in the clutch or amke sure your not in gear

The Clutch Interlock switch is at the VERY top of the clutch pedal.

First, ask yourself THIS: When I press the clutch in and go to START, do I hear a click or clack each and every time I do this?????

IF that is the case, that you do hear the click as you go to START, then it ain't the Interlock switch. The click you hear is the STARTER SOLENOID. IF it clicks, then the Interlock switch is working.

Just prove it. Go to the Interlock switch and disconnect it's two wire electrical plug. Now on the harness side of that plug, jumper the two sockets. If you do that the Interlock Switch is bypassed. Now just go to START without pushing the pedal.

Still just clicks? Most likely it does. Proving your problem is not the interlock switch.

his problem is he has to push the pedal really hard to activate the switch and i dont believe its a starter problem

HAILERS

And I think he is mistaken. I think the switch is making and has been making all the time. And I think it is not the interlock switch at all but another thing all together.

A lot of I's in the above, but that's what I think. If I'm wrong, big deal. Been wrong before.

NSXchink

yes, that is my problem.

i have to push rediculously hard to get that point for the engine to crank

i dont have a clicking noise, my starter was replaced not long ago.


more comments appreciated

if someone could help me be able to push down on my clutch normally and get it to crank i would be happy

well, bypass the clutch safety switch and see if it affects the problem.

NSXchink

o yea, it was the floor mat that got in the way...

it made it just a little bit easier to start

ya, i bypassed my CIS, i like it cause i can start my car without being in it. i dont like the cold, im from texas and living in CA, so, i start my ****, let it warm up (which is good the car in general) and i go back to bed, let it warm up, then leave the house.
and, sometime bypassing it does allow easier start up, due to fucked up clutches or w/e.
just giving my 2 cents.

peace
