I've located the switch I just can't get it off. There seems to be some sort of plastic butterfly bolt with looks like a locking mechanism.

It looks like it is a turn to release method. Here are the instructions to remove the switch.

Clutch Interlock Switch Check and Adjustment

1. Check to be sure that the interlock switch is as shown in the illustration when the clutch pedal is depressed at its full stroke 130 mm (5.1 inches). If not at the specified dimension, loosen the clutch interlock switch 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Then slide the switch to the specified dimension and turn the switch 1/4 turn clockwise to lock.
2. Connect an ohmmeter to the interlock switch connector, and then check for continuity when the clutch pedal is fully depressed and when it is released outward. If the interlock switch is not as it should be, replace it.

If you still have a problem, please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can see. That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
