hey u know when u start a 5speed (or 6 speed) u have to push in the clutch right? well once in a while when i start my car (93.5 supra) i push in the clutch and the car just goes "click" , after i push the clutch in and out a few times it normally starts. its just a pain and id like to know what it is??? a friend told me it might be my clutch cable is loose but i have no idea.

Any info from knowledge or personal experience would help a lot. thanks guys, nick

There's a switch behind the clutch pedal that disables the starting circuit when the clutch is out. Maybe it's bad.

I guarantee it isn't the clutch cable because Supras have hydraulic clutches. Get your starter checked, the armature may have a dead spot.

thanks peace

It may be the switch behind the clutch pedal but, I doubt it. Mine did the same thing, click click click then start. Random amount of clicks then start. Turned out to be the starter which my Toyota guy says starts to get dead spots in the armature at about the 90K mile mark. Buy a new starter, not a rebuild.

Yeah, starter sounds more likely.

How much $ for new starter?
