Starter relay - 727 to tko500 - rewire question

[watermelon]

hello all,

does anyone know if i need to change the starter relay when going from auto to manual?

my thought is that i can ground the connection that used to go between the relay and the neutral safety switch on the 727. would that work?

any feedback is appreciated.



thanks,

watermelon

Correct, you can just ground the terminal.

Grounding the terminal will allow the starter relay to work. This, however, takes the safety out of the equation. The starter relay will engage when the car is in gear and the clutch is not depressed. A definite tech problem at the strip (if you are so inclined).
Research the 70 up starter circuit for manual cars.

is just about install a pressing switch ( like door jams ) on clutch pedal bracket, and wire it to the G on Starter relay.

exactly to the emergency pedal switch in fact, on same position.

That would work.

Check the TKO-500 for a neutral safety switch pre-installed, my TKO-600 came with one. Closed in neutral only, connect it to the existing NSS switch wiring. The original factory style clutch pedal safety switches don’t last and are scarce today.
