Clutch Interlock Switch Check And Adjustment

Check to be sure that the interlock switch is as shown in the illustration when the clutch pedal is depressed at its full stroke 130 mm (5.1 inches) for Eclipse or 150 mm (5.9 inches) for Eclipse Spyder. If not at the specified dimension, loosen the clutch interlock switch 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Then slide the switch to the specified dimension, and turn the switch 1/4 turn clockwise to lock.

Connect an ohmmeter to the interlock switch connector, and then check for continuity when the clutch pedal is fully depressed and when it is released outward. If the interlock switch is not as it should be, replace it.
