My 1982 VW Rabbit will only start if it is in gear, its got a Scirocco engine and transmission in it from?

a later year. Anybody have any ideas why it would do this? It is a Gasoline engine and not the diesel modelMy 1982 VW Rabbit will only start if it is in gear, its got a Scirocco engine and transmission in it from?
Sorry to tell you that this car doesn't have a neutral safety switch if it is a manual car! And doesn't have a clutch switch either. So you don't have to have the clutch pushed into start it! I believe you have another issue at hand here! Try replacing you ignition switch and see what happens!My 1982 VW Rabbit will only start if it is in gear, its got a Scirocco engine and transmission in it from?
Try just pushing the clutch pedal to the floor when you turn the key. I doubt it has to be in gear The safety switch for a stick shift is usually in the clutch pedal. When you try to start it in gear you instinctively hold the clutch on the floor.
Neutral safety switch is bad.
Remember, It is no longer an 82 - so thinking is ';bye-bye';. Has to be clutched first.
