8714, clutch pedal switch wiring Posted by nub, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
There appears to be two methods to wire up the clutch pedal switch after the MTX swap.
1) Armond's method here: http://www.2gnt.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=set_linear_mode&forum=34&page=&topic_id=6273
Which says: "the black wire with yellow stripe from the 10 pin transaxle range switch harness, hooked up to a clutch pedal switch that is grounded while depresed."
2) Corbin's method here: http://www.2gnt.com/index.php?d=ATMT
Which says: "the green wire with black stripe (on the clutch pedal swicth) down to the small black wire with yellow stripe on the starter relay."
My problem: Armond's method works fine if the specified transaxle wire is grounded, but since the oem clutch pedal switch is normally grounded (open when pressed), the car will only start with the clutch pedal *not* pressed.
Corbin's method is hooking up a pin that is normally grounded, to the starter relay. It also doesn't specify if this should be a splice, or to cut the wire and connect to the starter relay, or to cut the wire and connect to the harness side of the relay. It seems like the end result will be grounding out the starter relay input signal, and when the clutch pedal is pushed there will be no connection to the starter relay. This seems wrong, but I haven't tried it.
Anyone done this? Did you have to buy and rig up an aftermarket normally-open switch?
