Possible to start engine without depressing on clutch??

shadoquad · 11-04-2010, 10:49 AM

I've dealt with starting manual cars just for the purpose of warming them up, or for starting them while the hood's open. I simply sit on the seat with my right buttock and use the right foot to depress the clutch, wiggle the stick to make sure she's out of gear, and then swing right back out of the car. It's not hard to do.

That's the best way.

You don't want to bypass the clutch sensor especially if you have SRM. If you are doing it because of a remote starter then you can usually set it up to send a temporary signal which you would achieve by shunting pin 99 of the BCM to ground. Figuring out how to detect neutral (if you have SRM) would also be a really good idea to prevent you sending the Z through the garage door.

This is what I do as well. Specifically comes in handy when you are changing oil and all dirty. I can't imagine trying to get oil out of my almost white seats.
