I have determined my car will not start because of the clutch starter switch. I would like to replace. I have included a picture is this the switch? I see no wires to it so not sure how it would work. If this is the switch and if it is bad can I simply remove it and have the car start?

Do the arrows point to the switch? It does not appear close to the clutch.

Boy it does not look like that at all. I see know switch only what I think is the Clutch Booster which I thought was the switch. There is nothing else hooked up to the clutch arm.
