I missed seeing the one at PPRU. Howeve, have seen this before and also on the one I spent many hours on as a youth. That clutch holdout is to make hand cranking of the engine easier. The diesel engine, even when in gas mode still has a lot of drag and is much more difficult to hand crank than the gas version of the M. That is why the MDs had 12 volt starters. The idea of the clutch holdout is to disengage the clutch for hand cranking (while of course still putting the transmission in neutral). This relieves the resistance of the transmission and the hydraulic pump making hand cranking a little easier.
