Default nuetral safety switch for m6

Hello all,
My 98 M6 is showing signs of a neutral safety switch issue. How do I go in and replace it?
Thanks

You might want to describe the issues your having... what makes you think it's the neutral safety switch...

That prevents the car from being started unless the clutch pedal is depressed. Easy to get to if the seat is all the way back for enough room in the foot well.
I think your right... I start mine in gear all the time with the clutch pushed in, doesn't have to be in NEUTRAL...

No such switch for the MN6.

thanks for the replies guys. I learn something new about this car seems like every week. Thank god for this forum.
I'm having an issue intermitent problem with turning the car on. I everything powers up but no crank. It takes a a few turns. I found that if I slam the clutch down it will crank sometimes on the first turn.

If you need replacement info on the Clutch switch later I can post for you.

Here is the schematic of how it is in the circuit.

Mr. Sam
No switch on a manual, just the clutch engagement switch. I have to push my clutch pedal all the way and it starts fine.

The original Rochester FI systems had a "nuetral safety switch" which was activated when the ignition was turned to the start position. I have had a few friends refer to the clutch engagement switch as the NSS since it works in the same capacity of allowing the starter to engage.
