Thats because they are usually (thankfully) stuck closed. I did an auto to manual swap and wanted it perfect so I went to all the trouble to hook up the nuetral safety start clutch switch instead of bypassing it.... only to have it stuck closed anyways.

i was thinking something like that but the tab that one of them would touch has a hole in it right where the button is so it doesnt do anything. the hole also looks like it was there from the factory and not drilled by someone

There should be a bolt and a nut in the hole, which makes it adjustable in length.
