Default neutral safety switch

l need to replace my neutral safety switch on my 1975 corvette sting ray.it has a standard transmission with a 4 speed in the floor. my question is how do I get to it? It looks like it is connected to the clutch peddle.Is there part of the dash I can take off?is there an easier way to get to it and change it out or should I take it somewhere?Thanks

You may not realize that your Lottery Numbers are going to Hit. My dash is out as the speedo/tach are DOA. Here are a few pictures of the switch. Unless you were a contortionist in the Circus, you may have to remove the drivers seat, and even the dash. Start reading and Googling. It may be called clutch switch. Good Luck, you may need it!

The switch is left of the two white wires

Access is key to everything. Here is a picture of the pedal assembly removed showing clutch switch with the actuating rod and the small clips you will drop while working upside down. Break out the Tylenol. Good luck.
