92 4.0 5spd NSS ???

88greenxj · Jun 9, 2005

Cant find a NSS on this xj. Got oddball starting problems. Hold on the key in start, with clutch in, then keep working the shifter until it hits some magical spot and starts? Usually in 3, 4, or R... It is a 5 speed. I've read some post on bypassing the NSS...some thing about grounding terminal 30 on the starter relay??? Does nothing but make big sparks...

{yes I did search...if you were typing or thinking "jackazz needs to do a search" go ahead, tense up the muscle on your thigh, and frog yourself}

There is no NSS on the manual AX15 rigs, but there is a switch on the clutch pedal that acts in a similar manner. Look at it, pull the plug and jumper the two connections on the plug to test things out. You can run without it, just make sure to have it out of gear when you're starting it.

It will actually move the jeep quite a bit in 4lo 1st, great for getting off trails though it is tough on the starter...

I think they started using the clutch interlock in 97+ My 96 Doesn't have one

Yeah, I'm not certain when they began using it, but it is definitely a clutch pedal interlock, not a neutral safety switch.

My '92 5spd had no clutch switch interlock for starting. I liked keying over.
My '99 5spd has the switch, unfortunately.
