Clutch Problems

1991 F150 4.9L 5sp manule. When I try to start the truck, I have to push extremely hard on the truck to get the starter to engage. This problem started right after the clutch was changes. Is there some kind of a safety switch or contact that can be disabled?

Clutch Problems

There is a switch located under the dashboard on the clutch linkage where it goes through the firewall. Mine did the same thing after a clutch change and I put a shim/spacer, about 1/8" thick, on the back side of the switch bod. The switch is black and cylindrical shaped and wraps around the clutch linkage in front of the firewall.
