Oh, the other switches that I've had to replace are the clutch and brake light switches under the dash on their respective pedals. Both are inexpensive and easy.

What indications did you have when the clutch switch went bad?

Sometimes the car wouldn't start. I thought it was the ignition switch but eventually figured out that the clutch switch was intermittant (clutch switch is used as an interlock to keep owners from starting the car in gear). Replaced it and everything was back to normal.
