1993 Dodge Dakota truck won't start

I drove to work, parked did my 14 hrs shift. When I went to start it up turned key got no response. Checked battery, good, put key in run position, then jumped the poles on the starter/solinoid, then drove on home. Okay heres the question. I repaced the ignition switch, no luck, so I started looking for the clutch position switch, but I can't seem to locate it, and my cheapo aftermarket book only calls out for a nuteral safty switch on the automatic trans, it doesn, t reference the manual system at all. So, is there a switch, if so where is it located. I traced the sys. From the firewall down to the tranny. Its not in in, and the system is hydrolic and I can't see the pivot poiunt for the pedalwithout removing the entire plastic formed air duct for the A/C, not my idea of fun. I did feelthe pivot point but could not find any electrical leads attached there. Any help would be greatly apperciated.
