Question:

What are the Neutral Button functions on Gearchange system?

Answer:

You must fit a Neutral Button, otherwise the ECU will not know when you want Neutral. The Neutral Button does two basic jobs :-

1 – Select Neutral.

2 – Selecting a gear if no ‘Clutch Switch’ is fitted. If a clutch switch is not fitted, then the driver would need to press the neutral button to tell the ECU that he is ready to select a gear, he then pulls an up or down paddle whilst holding the neutral button. The ECU will then select a gear. This stops the driver or anyone else accidently pulling a paddle and selecting a gear if the engine is running.

Fitting a ‘Clutch Switch’ means the ECU knows when the clutch is down (I use a brake light pressure switch Banjo Bolt quick and easy to fit). You will then be able do the following.

1 – Select a Gear without pressing the Neutral button first.

2 – Start the Engine when in Gear.
