I followed this thread (aRrakis provided in the intake Thread):

3/4 way down the page there is a section discussing a was wondering what this switch if for Manual Clutch Inter-Lock.

What does it do?

 

Do anyone know what this is?



Is it a way to over ride the clutch switch so we don't have to push the clutch down to start it?

 

now guess either?

 

I can't read Japanese, but I assume it bypasses the factory clutch interlock, though I don't know why you would want a switch for that.

If you want to bypass it, just bypass it, why have a switch that you have to remember to turn on and off every time you want to start the car without using the clutch.

Or maybe it's a cheezy way to bypass the clutch interlock to allow for remote start, with the idea that you only press the switch after you put the car in neutral and put the brake on. But even that sounds pretty lame, you could easily forget and leave the switch on, and have no safety against starting the car in gear.

 

bypassing it can also be a good way to install a starter kill switch instead.

 

So it might enable remote start, and/or starter kill switch.

No performance enhancement what so ever,,, mmm

Thanks.

 

my toyota tacoma 5sp had a button that would override pressing the clutch and starting the car and it was OEM.
