Car starts without clutch engaged

[tw3aK]

I did a aod - t5 swap. I plugged in the two clips that goes into the clutch pedal. Is there anything else im suppose to do? It still starts in gear. I'm pretty sure the switch is good.

Is the other side of the switch plugged into the relay on your inner fender? there is a wire that slips on a tap on it.

Let me see if i am understanding this correctly. You are syaing there is a clip on the engine side of the firewall that needs a relay plugged in?

The two larger terminals one comes from battery other goes to the starter. The small terminal is hooked up to the nuetral safety switch/ your clutch.

Nice find. Maybe i need to do something with my old aod harness in order for the manual harness to work. I have no clue. I will figure this out!

When I did my AOD to T-5 conversion, there were two plugs already there that plugged right into the neutral safety switch. The neutral safety switch was the first thing I tested after starting the car up with the 5 speed.It worked like a champ. What you might have to do is make the adjustment on the safety switch itself. You use a small screw driver and unlock the mechanism for adjustment. It has to be adjusted right, the neutral safety should only be activated when the clutch pedal is to the metal.

I hope it works. Thats a good point about the clutch switch itself possible being out of adjustment.
