    Need to slam the clutch into the floor to start the car

    normally to start my car i would depress the clutch and turn the key. lately i need to press as hard as i can to get it pressed as much as possible to start the car. does this mean my clutch may be on it's way out? not saying that i used to only press it in half way to start, but over the last week i feel like i need to give it some extra pressure in order to start the car. hoping this doesnt mean clutch will soon need to be replaced. no slipping and shifts just fine otherwise, just this strange starting issue.

    just adjust the micro switch on the clutch pedal, takes about 5 minutes.

    I have the same exact problem! It never bothered me enough till one day i couldn't start the car at all! but I never got around to it b.c i almost never drive my car... very interested to what it might be though. Im sure its a switch of some sort, just dont know how to get to it.. im sure i could figure it out... but idk the part number or anything... well anyway good luck...

    Down low on the clutch pedal bracket, looks like it belongs in a dishwasher door or something. If you disconnect the wires and jumper them, you don't need to depress the clutch at all. I like my switch, though.
