No need for wires. I just used a spade connector and a zip tie. Simple enough.

All you have to do is unplug the clutch switch connector and cut a small 1/4" to 3/8" long piece of .032" or .040" safety wire (you could use another type of solid wire, I just had a roll of safety wire laying around that I used) and bend it into a small U or V shape. Now, just plug that U or V shaped wire you made into the connector plug end you unplugged to jumper the two wires together.

Or do what Soul mentioned.

Voted no. Reason is that modern high torque starters, can put the car through a garage wall, if some muppet tries to start it with clutch safety disabled, let alone with an LS swap..

So, momentary push on switch will be our move.

Just so happened I stalled twice in the pits yesterday due to leaving it in gear and not using the hand brake. Glad I left the switch in place - big sign saying in gear on order!

I just installed an acorn nut on the end of the switch, it compresses the end button and the car starts every time. No need to mess with wires. The end of the switch is threaded so an acorn nut will fit over it and as it tightens down it closes the switch button.

I actually had a spare switch so I left the factory one in place and just put the connector on the spare switch and zip tied it tight. But if you don't have a spare one like I did then just unsrew the switch put an acorn nut on the end of the switch and zip tie it tight in the general area.
