I just made a hard loop out of some solid 18(?) gauge wire and zip-tied it onto the connector.

Easy to undo should the need arise and less intrusive than a scothlok IMHO.

having the same issue, i don't have a large hand and still having trouble getting my hand in a position to be able to unplug the clutch interlock switch

It's almost impossible.
Ive given up for now...

I just replaced every wiring harness in the car, and if i can get in there and do that it's for sure possible. I can do it for you next time i see you, a skinny waist and long arms help. save it for mod day

what s the point of this, just to be able to start the car without the clutch pressed down?

It's a tight squeeze under there for sure but I don't understand why anyone would want to bypass the clutch interlock switch either. A solution to what problem?

Perhaps he is trying to test /start the car in the garage and doesn't want to have to crawl in and out every time.
As someone getting older I can sympathize if that's it

Most other markets don't have the switch, but us dumb Americans with a lawyers on retainer smell lawsuits. I know how to start a car. I don't need TPMS and some other nannies either. I liken this to the top down mod.

The purpose of this is thrust surface longevity. Most wear happens at cold start, and if the crank isn't loaded at startup, it only makes sense that the thrust face which is only a small half moon surface may live a lot longer.
The engine is smoked if the crank walks. Granted, many, many folks will have no issue ever. I choose to start in neutral, or if I want to, also start with clutch in.

...Oh, and Jake, thank you for offering up your help at next mod day. This old bod of mine is R-19 in a tee shirt and just doesn't bend like it used to. I think I'd be a strange extrusion like what would come out of play dough fun factory if I squeezed in there. You're a hero dude...

i finally got it!

so instead of unplugging the switch, i managed to pull the wire down just enough to tap into them using these posi 20-22 gauge taps...i don't know how the other guys are able to strip and solder these wires in such a small space!
