Yes but some cars have a button under the clutch so you may have to press it...put it in neutral and try to start the car to find out ;)

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.

How do you jump-start a car without cables?

First, your car must have a manual transmission. Find a stretch of clear downhill road or look for honest people willing to push the car for you. Step on the clutch and put the car in the first gera, then turn on the ignition. Have the car rolled or pushed up at 10kph. Release the clutch quickly. If it doesn't start, depress the clutch and do it again.


Why is it necessary to use the clutch to turn on a standard car?

If by use you mean disengage by depressing the clutch pedal , then it's because it is difficult for the starter to turn over the engine when the car is in gear. Also, it's a safety issue, because if the car is in gear when you start it, it could lurch forward, causing an accident. Either the car must be in neutral or the clutch must be disengaged. Even cars with automatic transmissions won't start unless the gear-select lever is in Park or Neutral. Some cars with automatic transmissions even require the driver's foot to be on the brake for the car to start.


Why is it that you have to step on the clutch before you can start the engine?

Modern cars you cannot because manufactures think its not safe, by depressing the clutch you can make extra sure it will not sudden launch forward. But with older cars there is nothing stopping you from starting the car in neutral, you can even start it in gear but it most likely move a little forward than stall.

Does your clutch need replacing?

yes it does!.like all parts of a car, it depends on your driving style as well as manufacturer recomendation...for example if you tend to dump your clutch often then you clutch will need to be replaced frequently...you can tell when to replace your clutch by the feel of it when driving, if it tends to slip often or it is hard to engage a gear without depressing your clutch pedal several times, its high time to replace your clutch...when driving dont make it a habit to 'ride the clutch' ie:using your clutch when going down hill to disengage your gear without leaving the gear in neutral..


Will your car push start if the clutch interlock switch is bad?

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.
