Disconnecting the clutch start switch

[97GSTspyder]

all right i have yet to get my car back...but when i do get it back i want it to run the absolute best it can for as long as it can...and i've read tons of stuff on crankwalk and ways to HELP prevent it. one of these ways is by disconnecting the clutch start switch. because when you push the clutch in to start the car, pressure is being put on the thrust bearing when no oil has been let loose yet. my question is how would i disconnect the clutch start switch? my biggest fear is putting un-needed wear on my car and eventually developing CW again.

thanks for the help

there is a little trigger, like a push button behind the clutch petal... just take the wires running into the button and complete the circuit, its been about 4 months since i did mine so i'm not sure on the exact wires, but you could also do as i did and run the wires to your E-Brake trigger so when your E-break is on that is the only time your car will start, just incase you leave it in gear, mine is that way cause i have remote start! good luck

awesome...that's not a bad idea to run it to the E-brake. thanks for the advice.

OOOOH! gonna have to do that... I won't run it to my E-Brake trigger though, I hardly use it, since it doesn't work... Ill post a new thread to see how to get it fixed.

Just disconnect the wires. You want an incomplete circuit there. The switch is on the firewall and is activated with the pedal all the way down (the switch activated by the ledal being all the way up is for the cruise control), and the connecotr is actually mounted on the steering colum bracket or similar. Just follow the wires. One black and one green if I remember correctly.

ok i got my car back and was looking for the green and black wires under the dash...i found 2 sets of these...how do i know which is which? i don't wanna disconnect the wrong ones and have something not work...also do i just cut these or what? the term "disconnect" makes it seem like there's a plug to disconnect.

thanks for the help

FInd everything else I mentioned there already. The wire colors were just given as secondary information. There are a thousand green and black wires under there, so if you look for that first, you'd be there a loing time Good luck.
