CA FC Clutch Relay Switch

My Fc doesnt start on first try you need to push in the clutch a couple times.

Where can i find the clutch relay switch and where can i find the component online?

Also The Fc is a Gtu, bone stock and i just changed the clutch.

I still had the problem before i replaced the clutch.

It's called the Interlock Switch and not the Clutch Switch as they are two different items. The Interlock Switch is found at the very top of the clutch pedal and the two wires feeding the switch can be bypassed. The wire colors are Black/Red and Black/Green.

The dealership or the used parts forum will have it.

Why not just jumper the two wires suggested and you'll figure out what is really behind your starting problem as it might not be related to the Interlock Switch and just be a coincidence. There are numerous causes for your problem and each one needs to be eliminated to figure what's going on.

When i bought the car the seller told me it was the interlock switch bit i guess it wouldnt hurt to check if its another problem. Any ideas on what it could possibly be?

Until you go through the process of eliminating items as the cause you won't know.
