Default under boot, etc. there is 6mm allen middle left of sight, looking straight down that connects the...
metal elbow or what ever it is called to the transmission linkage and connected at the other end to the bottom of the plastic shifter.

you can loosen this allen bolt and that gives you the ability to set the neutral position of the shifter side to side and fwd/backwards . Bentley gives the official angles but I did it by trial and error.

Default Adjusting the interlock switch does not effect clutch engagement.
96's have no switches but my clutch still worked.

Default If he has the clutch to the floor, and the clutch isn't disengaging, then it could still be
pedal position, no?

they're saying that's how to adjust the switch. not the pedal.
