Auto to manual swap clutch safety switch (Page 1/1)

Good afternoon,

First off before I get killed in the comments I did try the search function but for some reason it's not working on my phone.

Now that that's out of the way I have an 88 auto that I'm doing a f23 swap on and I was curious as to how people are bypassing the clutch safety switch since that section of the body harness is not on my auto body harness. I appreciate any help/advice given.

See this thread. It discusses what you are doing and what you may need.

I don't have any experience on the subject but...

Can you connect the safety switch to the automatic park and neutral switches?

To me, do not "bypass" the safety switch!

I found three threads on "Auto to F23"

The automatic neutral safety switch is located in the engine harness. Doing as you propose would require running two wires to the front, which would be difficult to implement in a clean manner.

To do a more factory-style install, the large starter solenoid wire in the driver’s footwell can be interrupted with the clutch switch, as was done on factory manual transmission cars.
