This particular unit doesn't come with the clutch switch. The clutch switch is only mentioned as an optional item for diesel installation. The instructions, addressing manual transmissions (gasoline), say that overreving (pushing in clutch/knocking out of gear) is sensed through the hookup to the coil and that no clutch switch is required. The only adjustment is a wheel for sensitivity on the electronics module. No dip switches, etc. I've decided to install this unit on my 7 passenger automatic and keep looking for a good deal for the Westy with 4 speed. Mike '84 GL 7 pass auto '85 GL Westy 4 speed |
