Now here is a reason
NOT to have the neutral safety switch hooked up. Clutch master fails,... no need for a flatbed. Start it in gear from the stop sign/light, rev match your shifts, and make sure you're in neutral when you stop. Kill the motor, and start in gear to get going again. It IS a very slow, controlled leave from a stop. It will also allow you to move your car from the RR tracks, the middle of an intersection, or some other undesirable location, when you can't get the motor going again, and you don't have time to wait around for Barney.
I'm not sure I see how the switch helps with the stuck gear thing,...? Seems like that would be better w/o the switch.
I will NOT let anybody that I want to keep alive, drive this car, regardless of the extensive safety equipment it has!
