civic with 2 clutch switches?
 
anybody know why there are 2 clutch switches on my 93 civic? one seems to not do anything at all. the helms manual shows two but i cant find anything about one of them.

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.

No, i think its actually because all ef's you have driven are 88 or 89. In 1990 they implemented a clutch switch on the efs as well.

there`s actually a little more then a nut and a bolt. it has a few misc. washer and stuff...
compare / messured someone elses civic for the correct part, if the bolts too long it will ---- up the switch :l

I had an 88 HB, had to have the clutch in to start it and as a matter of fact, EVERY 88-91 civic that I have been in has needed the clutch to be depressed in order to start it. I have never even encountered one with a "stuck switch" :4
