As usual a perfect time for something to go wrong

Well, I'll be. Fortunately I've never been in a position to have to try it out.

I can see why the manufacturers don't want to accept the liability for remote start on a manual tranny, but it seems to me a pretty simple safety measure would be a neutral safety switch tied into to the remote start, just like an automatic car can't be started in anything but "park."

X2. Glad I have not had to do this.

start the car in first gear. I've done it many times.


I had my nut come off the end of my adjustable cable in my '92 right at davis and 183 in NRH. It was about 5 degrees outside and I was in shorts and a t-shirt walking around in the middle of the fucking intersection at 4am trying to find a fucking 5/16" nut.

I found it. Took about 45 minutes.

I've also blown up around 7 T5's. One time I raced a bike on 35, I was really into the boost and then all of a sudden my car popped out of third. I figured whatever, and put it in 5th and cruised for about 40 miles. I hit traffic on 820 in NRH and pushed the clutch in to drop down the third, and I felt the fork release all my gears into the pan and the whole transmission came apart, sounded like a wood chipper. That's when you are completely fucked. A clutch problem is easy.

Sounds like what happened to my 98 gt before I rebuilt it. I drove it for about a month without 3/4 gear. When I broke open the trans, pieces just started falling off of it. I literally have no idea how it even had 1,2, and 5. I use the input shaft as a clutch alignment tool now.

Lmao at the stab and go shit..

Put that turd in 1st or 2nd gear and turn it over..

I've loaded my car onto a trailer using the starter before.. Isn't a big deal.

I've driven plenty of my p.o.s.'s with no clutch in a pinch. Just have to shut it off at a red light and coast, then bump the starter in second gear and you're off again. Or just run every red light and stop sign if you can. You really only have to have a clutch to stop and idle.

Still no tatas? GTFO!
