Where is the starter switch on the clutch pedal and is it adjustable? I have to push the clutch to the floor to start the car. does this seem normal? I have a Gen I.
Why would you want to remove that switch? Is it that much trouble to push in the clutch to start the car.
It may also depend on the thickness of your floor mats. When I had some thicker floor mats in my '95, I had the unintentional theft-deterrent that, when the mats got accidently shoved further forward than they should be, you could not press the clutch far enough in to disengage the starter safety cutout. I even got a call from a dealer after I dropped it off for service asking if I had some sort of aftermarket anti-theft system in it, as they couldn't get it started. I had to drive back to the dealership, try to start it, and instantly realize what the problem was and move the mat, and, voila', it starts. The guy who was tasked with moving my car into the service bay was a bit embarrased by it.Where is the starter switch on the clutch pedal and is it adjustable?

Perhaps not as many as some might think - even missing the last 1/4"-1/2" of throttle travel, the car still has more acceleration than most.Thick floor mats... what do you think how many (mostly female) customers complain about poor performance when theyr floor mats sliped under the pedal....?
youll never find such a widget on any euro spec manual car, I know one of our guys removed that feature from his GTS as soon as he got the car.
I suppose the euros in general are more used to driving manual cars, unlike the US majority. I personally grown up on manuals, only just had my first automatic about 5 months ago, I bet the US is the other way around

Phil , I had mine go out on my 95 while I was in a parking lot. You need to cram your body in the footwell with a light and look up at it. Then it all makes sense. I disconnected mine and ordered a new one. They are easy to replace once you can see them. You are a big guy , so you might have trouble getting into the footwell.
