Bypassing clutch on startup?

Bypassing clutch on startup?
Has anyone attempted to bypass the clutch system in our cars? I've seen a few cars around that can start up without having to depress the clutch. I'm just curious to know if anyone has tried it and was successful.

yeah, if you look at the clutch pedal switch, just above the clutch there is a black, 2 pin plug.. one wire is red, not sure of the other color off the top of my head... connect those 2 wires and there you go
once that red wire sees ground, it tells the car it is being pushed in... when the clutch is physically pushed in, the switch connects the two wires (the second wire is a constant ground)
however, i dont recommend doing it as the vehicle will still be able to start while in gear

Not a bad idea if you make a neutral safety switch, which will only allow the remote start to operate when the shifter is in neutral.

Last week I showed up to work and behind my restaurant, somebody had double parked behind my boss' BMW. Later on I went to get something from my car and I suddenly noticed his car was touching the car behind it and knew they weren't when I had first arrived. I walk up behind his car and give it a push, and sure enough, the parking brake wasn't holding, and it was left in neutral. He now has some nice little dimples on his rear bumper from the license plate on the car it rolled into.

Doing this is always a great idea, especially with upgraded clutches. That's one less push on the ol' thrust/throw-out bearing. I've always done it. Any unnecessary clutch depressment should be avoided at all times.

I've never really parked my car in gear so it's never really a problem and even when I do I look at my shifter before I put my keys in. I just like the fact I can start up my car without being fully in the car. Lol I was used to doing that on an automatic.

Yeah, but you should still always leave your car in gear incase the parking brake fails.

My previous two manual cars I had bypassed the switch, one was due to me doing a 5-speed swap. As long as you make sure it is in neutral you'll be fine.
