Does that sound correct to everyone? If I needed to use the starter motor to move the car I could always bypass the switch. Just wondering of my idea is correct based on what others have done.

You could wire the clutch pedal switch in parallel with the neutral switch coming out of the trans so that if either switch was engaged you would have power to the starter solenoid. That would not be difficult to do. I will tell you that earlier this summer I was doing something trivial under the hood and reached in the driver's side to crank the engine knowing full well that I had left it in neutral and lo and behold the car lurched forward. Fortunately it did not catch and drive off without me.
All I can figure is that pesky elves put it in gear while I wasn't looking as I am
positive that I left it in neutral.
