Best Answer

Clutch interlock should only prevent you from cranking the starter without the clutch depressed. You should be able to push start with this malfunctioning since the rotating motor is doing just what it would be if the starter worked.

Why won't ford ranger diesel push start It has manual transmission.?

Because you have to have the clutch depressed to start it. They came factory with a clutch safety switch that will not allow the engine to start unless the clutch pedal is pressed to the floor . NOT. the clutch safety switch only allows the starter to be energized... If the glow plugs will cycle then the truck can be pulled to start. When my starter solenoid was bad I pulled it to start.

Why do you have to push really hard on your 1996 Nissan pickup truck clutch in order for it to start?

I have a 2006 Nissan frontier and on mine the clutch safety switch is located at the very bottom of the clutch pedal travel. That is to make sure you push the clutch all the way in when you start so you can't accidentally crank it over in gear and drive into a wall (Seen it done twice by two different coworkers in an older dodge w/o the clutch switch!!)


Why will a 1995 Izusu Rodeo with a standard trans not start when you turn the key but if you pump the clutch a few times then it will?

the reason is that there is a switch at the bottom of the spring by the clutch that is a safety switch so you don't start the car up in gear. either the master cylinder is leaking and by pumping it tells the switch that it is not in gear or the switch is bad and youre just hitting it and knocking the bad connections back to their senses, or you have a bad cable that has stretched past it life . try having someone push down on the switch or hit the switch while you try to start it. if the fluid is too low it will not start or the car will start and while you are driving it will lock up and not shift because of low pressure in the master cylinder for the clutch because of a bad master clutch cylinder. there is an adjustment for the spring cable when you push in the clutch. your clutch or cable is at its life end.

I can start my 1995 Chevy S-10 by turning the key to the on position and pushing down the clutch but I cant shift because the starter spins every time I push in the clutch why does this happen?

the ignition switch is shorted or wires shorted at the switch. Your clutch safety switch is just doing it's job and completing the circuit when pushed.
