Looks like the clutch safety switch was bottoming out and broke. Rodney gave good installation instructions with the MC. Odd he would of not mention if adjusting the clutch push rod length that the clutch safety switch would need adjustment. I've not seen any memtion of adjusting the clutch safety switch in other forum articles that talk about the adjustable clutch rod length.

Clutch switch is a pia anyway. Better off without it. Unhooked mine 2yrs. ago.

When you get it bled and working well, grab a piece of the plastic wire harness cover, slide it down over the fluid line below the slave cylinder, until it hits a stopping point. Clip it off just below the slave. It acts as a heat-sink and insulates the fluid line from the exhaust and coolant hose. That heat can boil the fluid when sitting still for a period of time.

Yeah, it's fine until someone else gets in your car to start it for you... and puts the car through the garage door when they turn the key.

Not sure if I dislodge a wire or something while playing with the clutch pedal. I jumpered out the cluth netrual switch to allow the car to run. After 4 day the battery died. I checked the circuit out and their isn't any power with out the key switch being turned. Any idea what could of change by jumpering out the clutch neutral switch.

Absolutely nothing.

Anytime I've killed the battery on an '84-'86 Fiero while the car's just been sitting, it's been the headlight motors screwing up and not turning off completely.

Hey John,
I can't give you any advice on the clutch (my Fieros are automatics), but I'm close and can lend a pair of hands if needed.
