RE: Clutch Bypass
You're going to have to do the install yourself. No one who wants to keep their professional reputation is going to install a remote start on a manual car. I will laugh the day I hear of a guy who used his remote starter to start his car which he left in gear.

RE: Clutch Bypass
i'mnot sure what the switch looks like on the top of the clutch pedal....but it should be a simple switch.
anyways...you basically will just have to run the "out" back to the "in"...so it makes a complete circuit.
it should be pretty easy to tell if you look at it.

RE: Clutch Bypass
MCFAST, how long ago was that? What kind of cars? Basically every car made since like... 1986 (probably earlier) have had a switch to stop you from starting it without engaging the clutch.
Check near the place where the pedals bolt on to the firewall (on both sides of the firewall). I think i remember seeing a switch there on used pedal assemblies.

RE: Clutch Bypass
there are kits that the still buypass the clutch switch. they put a sensor on the ****er if the car isn't in neutral then it won't start.
simple bypass like bob said find the switch on the clutch pedel unplug it and then make a jumper wire it should be bypassed at that poing

RE: Clutch Bypass
Shweet. My '67 didn't have a bypass... one day the ignition coils fell off, and i didn't realize until i had already rolled out of my parking space and down the road. So i just cranked her in using the starter. (Yeah, it's terrific for the engine i know)
