Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 2006what yr. did honda start using neutral safety switches ?
My 1981 and 1987 Accords did not have a neutral safety switch for the manual 5 speed trans. My 2006 Civic has one. I am curious of when Honda started using them on their automobiles. TIA. I thought a "neutral safety switch" was for an automatic transmission. An "interlock switch" (located at the clutch pedal) is for a manual transmission. Both prevent starting of the car in gear yada... www.hondaautomotiveparts.com indicates manual transmission Accords started having the interlock switch about 1990. Civics, about 1992. Though I think my 91 Civic has one, and my Chilton's manual suggests Civics earlier than 1992 have them. > My 1981 and 1987 Accords did not have a neutral safety switch for the > manual 5 speed trans.

Its odd but if you're going to start the car in neutral accidentally often enoug for it to be a problem, HOW did you pass your test? I've had an occasion or two when I've been very glad I could start my car in gear, A helpfull addition to a push when you're on your own. Of course, much harder with left hand drive cars, as the key isn't next to the window. In fact, i seem to recall that this method is in the highway code (the UK govt 'driving manual') as an emergency procedure to help move the car to a safe position. Sure, its not great for your starter, but they're reletively cheap to replace, and if it helps avoid a nasty accident... >www.hondaautomotiveparts.com indicates manual transmission Accords started >having the interlock switch about 1990.
