On my 74 914 the seat belt interlock was a real pain. If the car was not buckled up it would not crank or run. I always use my seatbelt 100% of the time. The seatbelt interlock computer under the seat would go nuts and shut the car off if I hit a pothole or a RR track. I had it towed to the dealer three times and they replaced the little computer every time. I finally got tired of that and figured out it was looking at the oil pressure switch. If it saw pressure it blocked the ignition. One simple bypass of that switch and the system was bypassed. I still have that useless POS computer in my attic somewhere.
I am guessing the OP problem is something to do with the hydraulic clutch.

If it were working properly it would keep the engine from cranking or running, as the seatbelt interlock on your 914 did. If it's not working properly who knows what kind of havoc it could wreak. Sorta like your 914.
