1 Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery using a 1/2-inch wrench. The battery in the 1995 Mustang is located on the driver-side of the engine compartment behind the headlight assembly. Wait 15 minutes to allow the residual charge in the air bag system to discharge and the air bag system to be disabled. This will prevent accidental deployment of the air bags.

2 Remove the steering column trim cover screws, located on the bottom of the steering column cover behind the steering wheel, using a screwdriver. Lower the tilt steering wheel fully. Unsnap the two halves of the trim cover from each other and remove them.

3 Turn the ignition key to the run position. Insert a 1/8-inch punch into the small retaining pin hole, located below the lock cylinder housing, and depress the retaining pin. Slide the old cylinder out of the housing.

4 Turn the key to the run position in the new ignition lock and insert the new ignition lock into the housing. Turn the key to the off position to lock the new cylinder into the housing. Turn the ignition key to the off position and pull on the ignition lock to verify it is securely installed. Reinstall the steering column trim covers. Reconnect the battery and tighten the cable clamp bolt securely.

Hi there if clutch master and slave cylinders are operating with full pressure and clutch fork push rod moves to full release, Then clearly the problem points to a faulty clutch specifically pressure plate or damaged clutch fork.

I have to take the fuse out to shut off the engine

if engine does not shut off when turning key to off. its most likely the ignition switch thats bad. many people consider the switch and lock cylinder to be the complete switch. but on many vehicles it is located at the bottom of steering column. the place where you put the key is just a lock cylinder and a rod operates the ignition switch. but some vehicles have the ignition switch in behind the lock cylinder, but that depends on the make and model. first, remove the steering column cowling, look for ignition switch bolted to the underside of the column (1 x 2.5 inch box with large wires, about 8 wires going to it)
undo the two bolts and pull it away from the column.
try to operate the ignition switch manually, sliding the rod forward (start may be springed) and back, if the engine doesnt shut off when the rod is all the way back toward you, replace the switch, good-day!

Need to change the Clutch Pedal Ignition Switch; do you have instructions how to do this?

Removal & Installation
  1. To prevent accidental air bag deployment, disconnect the negative battery cable, then the positive battery cable to allow residual energy in the air bag system to drain.
  2. Remove the steering column shroud(s).
  3. Disengage the wiring harness connector from the ignition switch.
  4. Insert the key into the ignition switch, then rotate the ignition key lock cylinder to the RUN position.
  5. Remove the two screws attaching the ignition switch.
  6. Disengage the ignition switch from the actuator pin and remove the switch.
To install:
A new ignition switch purchased from Ford will already be set in the RUN position.
  1. Adjust the new ignition switch by sliding the carrier to the RUN position.
  2. Check to ensure that the ignition key lock cylinder is in the RUN position. The RUN position is achieved by rotating the key lock cylinder approximately 90 degrees from the LOCK position.
  3. Install the ignition switch onto the actuator pin.
  4. Align the switch mounting holes and install the attaching screws. Tighten the screws to 50-69 inch lbs. (6-8 Nm).
  5. Attach the electrical connector to the ignition switch.
  6. Connect the positive, then the negative battery cables. Check the ignition switch for proper function in START and ACC positions. Make sure the column is locked in the LOCK position.
  7. Install the steering column shroud(s).
Is this the one you are asking about?

Clutch will not engage.

You have to bleed the system again they can be a pain in the b@TT, also get a second person to operate the clutch and watch to see if the lever moves, if it does pull off the rubber and make sure you have the Y on the pivot ball inside the transmission. And if you don't get enough throw adjust the clutch rod on the clutch pedal by removing the pin and loosen the lock nut and make it longer by unscrewing the shaft. You want a half inch of free play at the top of the pedal the you want the clutch to catch about 3/4 of the way down. Also if you try to put it in gear does it grind the gears? Also did you put the clutch plate in backwards this is a common mistake even for a pro who gets interrupted by a phone call or a good-looking gal walking by, if ya need more suggestions let me know by posting to this comment.

Clutch

Not positive about Hyundai,but most all import clutch systems that use hydraulics do have a clutch adjustment up under the dash.Get on the driver side floorboard with a light,lay on the floorboard looking UP...under the dash.Locate the clutch pedal,now track it UP to where you see a rod coming from the firewall back to the clutch pedal.This is the rod that actuates the clutch master cylinder.Track it back to the cutch pedal,and there should be threads on the end closest to the pedal.There should also be a jam nut,usually either 12mm or 14 mm.Loosen the jam nut,and back it off completely.Now adjust the rod in,towards the clutch pedal if you desire an engagement point higher on the clutch pedal travel.If you want the engagement point closer to the floorboards,adjust the rod out,towards the firewall.Good luck and rememeber to rate this solution.
