ok, was the factory n/s switch made so it will only start in neutral ( gear shifter) or was it made so it will start in any gear so long as the clutch is depressed??

here's the deal, got the t-5 in, i purchased a complete t-5 wiring harness for the tranny.

i took the one plug off the original aod, and plugged the short pigtail from the t-5 harness that by passes the n/s switch and has the reverse light switch plug on it.

all was good, had reverse lights, car started but with no n/s switch.

so today, i took the n/s part of the plug from the t-5 harness, wired it in to where the n/s wires are jumpered, and so now it will only start in neutral ( gear shift in neutral).

this is fine, but it would be nice if it would also start if it's in gear but with the clutch depressed. i have a switch on the pedal assembly for the clutch, i assume thats what this is for......i have heard there is a plug somewhere under the dash.......is this what i need to hook to that switch on the pedal assembly to allow the car to start if the clutch is depressed regardless of the shifter being in neutral or not??
 
Yea, it should start anytime the clutch pedal is depressed. That switch died on me a while ago and I had to replace it, but it don't remember exactly where it attaches. If nobody responds soon, I'll take a look at it tomorrow morning and let you know.
