took a needle nose and made it the right width to fit in the clutch interlock switch connector like so

theres two switches on the clutch pedal. couldnt get a pic of the clutch interlock switch so took a pic of the clutch position switch, the one that i did NOT bypass.
the interlock switch is right above this one

now its starting every time so far, just a little trick that might keep someone from buying the wrong part. a clutch interlock switch ($22.00) on majestic.

You looking for a part number on the little plastic part? Don't know it but these parts are on several (maybe all) manual gearbox Hondas and the guy at the parts counter will have them in stock.

The white pointy one although the point may only be there for ease of assembly. There are three (3) in there. I had all three replaced last Summer as preventive maintenance. My only Honda dealer service visit other than the annual Virginia inspection in the past 10 years. With apologies to the Coast Guard "You have to crawl under the dash but you don't have to get out."
