I was wondering how hard it would be to rig up the clutch sensor so that you could run a remote start system with a 4th gen 5spd.

 

It's been touched on before, but yes. It's a normally open switch, so when you clutch it closes and electricity flows. So: Disconnect the switch and solder the wires together.
Some people apparently also have a gizmo of some sort that prevents the car from starting when it's in gear, don't know how to do this with a stick though.

P.S. Nothing impresses non-car people like a remote starter... They just automatically assume your rolling around in K.I.T.T. (Bonus point’s if your old enough to get the reference)

 

The gismo is splicing some wire that tells your engine what gear your in and feeding off that voltage. Easier with an automatic but im sure a manual has something along those lines.

 

Or even better, i could just weadge a poll in there at night. since i will only be using this when the car has to sit over night neways.
That would be the super-ghetto mod way of doing it
