    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Clutch Safety Switch

You can do this with a single pole normally open relay. Supply continuous 12V power to the pickup side of the relay coil, and tie the ground side of the coil to the neutral switch to complete the circuit when in neutral. That will close the normally opened relay switch. Run a jumper from each side of the clutch switch to each side of the relay switch. The relay will automatically close the clutch switch when in neutral, and open in gear so it works like your Honda system.

Awesome OldVet66 I love it when a guy in the know steps up and slays the naysayers who say do not try.
 
If the normally opened relay uses the same terminal numbers, 85 (ground terminal) to neutral switch, 86 constant 12V (on with key), jumper from one side of clutch switch 87, jumper from other side of clutch switch 30. All relays have a schematic, so go with whatever is printed on the relay or associated paperwork.

I think I have it figured out, it's just that your terminology "the pickup side of the relay coil" had me confuzzled. :o

There doesn't seem to be a good descriptive word for the electromagnetic coil and armature that opens and closes the relay switch, sorry about the confusion.
