Default clutch switch/safety switch question

Is there a way to bypass the clutch switch all together. Mine decided to just crap out and now it wont let the car start. Im just looking for a temp fix so i can drive it for now until i get the parts for it. thanks

Nevermind, i pulled the knee panel down and just stuck a piece of solid core wire in the connector end for a cheap fix until tuesday when the dealer is open. All is good, she fires up nicely now.

P.S There's no harm with that connection being jumped all the time is there? Seeing as how everytime the clutch is pushed down theres a connection made, it shouldnt hurt anything? Thanks

Basically you can start it in Gear now..
I'm trying to figure out how to wire mine in..I had to bypass the N/S Switch in the Auto when I wired in the LS Engine/Tranny, since then I can start it in any gear..

There are quite a few places you can wire in a Kill Switch on..
