Anybody ever replace the clutch safety switch?

They are pretty deep to get to, and hard to find or expensive if you decide to buy a new one).

Hope this helps.

If you are going to cut the purple wire for diagnostics....After hot wiring your Solenoid to see that it functions, check the voltage on the hot side of the purple wire from the clutch switch with key on (Start) and clutch depressed. If you have 12v......just get the Relay and be done with it

Bypassing the Clutch Switch is NOT the answer
Removing the Secondaries for a leaking Vacuum System is NOT the answer.
Blocking TB Coolant IS the answer. (These are all different questions)
