Yes, most newer cars have a clutch safety switch that prevents the starter from engaging if the clutch isn't depressed.

I have a problem starting a 1996 Honda Civic I heard it might be the clutch relay because it's like trying to start the car without having the clutch pushed in. Any ideas on what could cause this?

If the clutch switch failed then the car will not start unless the switch is bypassed. The purpose of a clutch safety switch is to prevent the car from dangerously starting, so when it malfunctions that car will not start without it switch off.

Is there a Ford focus clutch safety switch?

Yes. There is a switch located behind the clutch pedal to must be depressed (when the clutch pedal is pressed all the way down) in order for the ignition circuit to be completed. Therefore the car will not start if the clutch pedal is not pressed all the way down. Starting a car while it is in gear can be very damaging to the transmission.ADDED: ... not to mention other cars and people around you!


How do you Bleed the Clutch Slave Cylinder on a 1993 Mazda 626?

The clutch in a car equipped with a manual transmission system can sometimes stop working properly. The clutch pedal may weaken and not engage or disengage properly, much like the brake pedal in a car. When this happens, it is necessary to bleed the clutch slave cylinder; this will tighten the clutch pedal and ensure proper performance. It is helpful to ask a second person to help you bleed the clutch, as one person will need to depress the clutch pedal while the other person works in the engine bay area. 1. Step 1 Locate the clutch release cylinder under the hood of the car. Pull off the rubber cap from the bleeder screw. 2. Step 2 Attach the bleeder tube over the end of the bleeder screw. Push the tube in to secure it tightly and to guarantee a vacuum seal. 3. Step 3 Fill the jar halfway with hydraulic brake fluid. Place the free end of the bleeder tube into the brake fluid. 4. Step 4 Press the clutch pedal to the floor and release it slowly to the original position. Repeat this process several times. 5. Step 5 Hold the clutch pedal to the floor; at the same time, use a line wrench to loosen the bleeder screw until the brake fluid begins to run out into the jar, then close the clutch cylinder bleeder screw. Repeat this step several times while watching the fluid in the jar for air bubbles. (This step works best with the help of your assistant, who can watch out for the air bubbles while you press on the clutch.) 6. Step 6 Close the bleeder screw when the air bubbles have stopped forming in the jar. 7. Step 7 Reattach the rubber cap to the tip of the bleeder screw.
