I never use that switch for neutral, I wire the neutral wiring to the clutch position switch on the pedal, so that when the pedal is depressed, it thinks it is in neutral, thus cutting off the cruise control when you push in the clutch...plus you have to press the clutch to start it, just like a factory set-up should be....but the cruise control works fine this way.

Re: Manual transmission causes crankshaft wear!

So to revisit this, is it safe to just start the car in neutral with the clutch depressed or is wiring it the way Huck recommends the best way?

I assume wired in the say Huck suggest you would still want to start in neutral?

Re: Manual transmission causes crankshaft wear!

If wired the way in my write-up, then it doesn't matter if its in gear, or neutral, as when the clutch is depressed, the transmission isn't engaged...

My Current 5-Speed has been running this way for about 13 years with no issues
