well we got the transmission and drivetrain out but went to start the car and I have NO CLUTCH. Therefore I can't start it to listen to the motor. Is there any way that we can make the car think the clutch is depressed? There were about 4 wires that unhooked from the transmission if I remember correctly.

Re: Clutch
so whats the problem?
trying to get your car started? If you have a manual car you have a clutch safety switch. Basically a small button on the back of your clutch pedal, you either need to push it in or unhook the switch and cross the connection.
Other then that thier is nothing transmission related to not start the car, unless its physically locked up or something. The only sensor going to the tranny is pretty much the VSS, which controls the speedo. -

Thanks- I looked under the clutch pedal and all around but found no switch/button so that threw me off....I will look again.Comment

Re: Clutch
i dont know exactly where it is, but when the clutch safety switch fails i know you can by-pass it with a paper clip. search quick and im sure your'll find a description of it or a picture.Originally posted by Tech1998 bright red camaro ,M5 ,Y87 ,stock<br /><br />Originally posted by Rune:<br />If it smells like a turd and looks like a turd, chances are its probably not a candy bar.Comment

Re: Clutch
just press the pedal down and start the car. thats all its there for. tho its not doing anything by pressing it down it does trip the sensor thats keeping it from starting. simple as that'99 Camaro Y87 M5 T-tops

I assume he is having issues with it...Originally posted by 99camaro-3.8
I had problems with the one in my 3.4L I bypassed it with a paper clip, I assume the 3.8L is the same. Just find the clutch pedal and follow it up to where their is a flat plate on the back of the pedal and the switch is behind it.Comment
