What is the Clutch Switch all about?

A number of new features makes manual transmission cars easier to drive on an everyday basis, including the clutch switch. This simple device is a safety feature, designed to prevent the engine from starting while the transmission is in gear. That doesn’t mean you have to put the transmission in neutral to start the car, though. The switch prevents the starter from actuating unless the clutch pedal is pressed to the floor. It mounts to the back of the clutch pedal assembly, and is really nothing more than a clutch-specific on/off switch. When the pedal is free, the switch is off. When you press it to the floor, the switch activates, turning the system on and allowing the engine to crank.

Keep in mind:

Like your brake light switch and other electronic components that see regular use, the clutch switch will wear out over time and require replacement.
Because it’s an electronic component, there is no visible wear and tear that would indicate a problem.

How it's done:

The under dash panels by the clutch pedal are removed
The defective clutch switch is disconnected and removed from the clutch pedal support
The new clutch switch is installed and adjusted
The electrical connector is connected to the new switch and the panels are re-installed
The vehicle is started to check the clutch switch for proper operation

Our recommendation:

If you’re experiencing problems that seem consistent with intermittent switch failure (the car sometimes won’t crank with the pedal depressed fully), have it diagnosed by one of our expert mechanics.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Clutch Switch?

Engine won’t start even with the clutch pedal depressed fully
Intermittent “no start” with the pedal depressed
The car will start without the clutch pedal pressed in

How important is this service?

While your clutch switch is a relatively simple part, your car won’t operate until a new one is installed in place of the broken one. However, switch failure will not prevent you from driving the car if it has already started – it only prevents the engine from cranking. Have your car diagnosed as soon as possible to prevent any inconvenience.

Mazda 3 L4-2.0L - Engine or Transmission Mount Replacement - Mesa, Arizona

Scott showed up on-time (actually few minutes early) for both of my appointments. He is very knowledgeable and very personable. Not only was his work outstanding but, it was a pleasure to meet him as well. I will request Scott, on all further appointments for work I need done on my vehicles.

Mazda 3 L4-2.0L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - San Mateo, California

In my short time dealing with mechanics, prior to purchasing a used vehicle, I can say Whitney is the diamond in the rough. He was very thorough during the pre-purchase inspection and debunked a previous mechanic's views on the vehicle with sound reasoning and proof. At the end of the check he spent time to discuss any questions we had, and left us feeling confident to stand by our first purchase in the Bay Area. Whitney is a very honest and hardworking mechanic who I will highly recommend.
