    Anyone ever bypassed the neutral safety switch on their clutch pedal. Is there an easy way to do it?

    I have a hard enough time shifting gears, but to push all the way down on the pedal to start my truck is turning my knee to shredded hamburger meat?

    Let me know if you've encountered this problem and solved it. I can't afford to buy an automatic anything right now. Thanks.

    Why not just use the clutch start cancel switch?

    Yes the TRD Off-Roads came with it factory, many trucks are pre-wired or partially pre-wired for the "clutch start cancel" switch.

    If not it's a normally open switch grounded right at the body of the switch IIRC and you would just need to connect the factory spade plug to your own wire and switch landed at the nearest ground so that when you want to bypass the clutch start safety plunger at the pedal you just flip the switch.
