INSTALLATION

1. Install new switch (1) as shown. Be sure that the

spring loaded plunger inside the switch is slightly
compressed. The plunger inside the switch must go
on the narrow section of the clutch master cylinder
actuation rod. Place the top of the switch against
the rod. Then push the switch up slightly. This will
compress the plunger. Then push the bottom of the
switch against the rod. Failure to install the switch
as described or forcing the switch onto the rod will
crack the switch.

cle.

4. Reconnect the clutch switch connector.
