Ok very sorry, is really hard to get in to different gears every now and then, like when going from reverse to 1st, etc.? If it is you may have a bent shifting fork, or a binded cabel.

Actually um...do you have gas in the car? When mine is almost out of gas it'll start but die when i let the clutch out.

Second time that it happened? What was the cause of the first?

Would Crank Walk cause this? due to low idle?

im not trying to tell u what to do but these are ellegal on five speeds i had one on my and i took it off simply because i forgot to take it out of netrual and started it and when it tried to crank it ran into my house, and but the other reason is because one night i was at a street race and parked behind this truck well when i was walking back to my car i hit the start button and it started, it ran into the back of this guys and i had to pay for it, but luckly there wasnt anybody behind the truck i had said that i would never leave it in gear and look what happened to me.

What are you talking about? And what does that have to do with anything? These arent s2ks...we don't have a start button.

ok maybe ur remote starting is ******* around. disconnect and try .. if thats not it then check ur neutal safety switch like the guy was rambling about above...if thats not it maybe its something wrong with the tranny/clutch/flywheel/shifting cables/forks/ thats causing the engine to stall
