Clutch/ Neutral safety switch
I have a 1986 iroc 5peed with the lg4. I noticed my car would
not start or would sometimes start without the clutch engaged. Someone had bypassed the switch with a piece of wire. I want to put a new switch in but can’t find one anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have called around and none of the parts stores even shows a listing for it.

Call hawks thirdgen and see if they can get you one from their parts cars. They may have a lead on an alternative as well.

The only thing I can think of is to call around to your local junk yards and see if they have one. You can search yards using www.car-parts.com.
You may also be able to upgrade to the later style switch with a new harness connector.

Consider checking with specialty auto parts stores or online platforms like eBay or Amazon for a 1986 IROC 5-speed with clutch safety switch issues. Ensuring proper functioning of the switch is crucial for safety reasons.

Re: Clutch/ Neutral safety switch
I did the Hawks switch and its working great. I did have to file the mounting pins as they were a little too big to just mount right up. I think that's because the Hawks switch is really a 4th gen switch that they are using for third gens and it's not quite a perfect fit. Just took a few minutes to mod the switch.
