I have a 91 hatch w/ a ZC swap. Lately i have been having to push on the clutch harder and harder for the engine to turn over. Now it wont turn over at all. Is there a sensor i can by pass so i dont have to push the clutch in at all to start the car? or something else, any suggestions....

 

there is a clutch sensor follow the clutch pedal up and you will find it. (you may need to take out the dash to get to it)

 

what do i do when i find the sensor?

 

there is a switch that the pedal hits you could try holding it down with something and starting the car if that doesn't work take it out and link the pins (make the car think the clutch is always down) if neither of these works then replace the switch

edit: use a peice of copper wire or something to link the pins

 

thanks for the help!! We'll see what happens....

 

check your clutch cable before disabling anything, you dont want your car launching foward on start up. if thats ok, the sensor is threaded i believe, so all you might have to do is screw it in towards the pedal after lossening the lock nut.

 

i have an 88 and i never have to push my clutch down to start.....is there something wrong or is there no safety swtich on the car???

 

There is no safety switch on the '88s
