I read the previos post about this but no one ever stated how to diable to clutch, like what wires to use, what to do with them, anything like that. I know of the precautions but could someone help me out here please. Thanks a lot.
Please, wire it the right way and use the brake wire to kill the car. That way, you don't inadvertantly leave the car in gear and try to remote start it.
If you need to know, just splice the 2 wires on either side of the clutch safety switch.
suggestion as to what i did,
i spliced into the clutch sensor wires, and then wired them to the shifter in such a way that if the car is in neutral the clutch circut is complete as if the clutch were pushed in, there for no accidental remote startin in gear, oh and i also wired it through the e-brake so the e brake has to be on as well before the clutch circut is completed. just take a lil time and creativity
You could use a SPDT relay. That is probally your safest way to do it, besides a manual-safe remote start.
Wire it like this:
first you need to find the clutch switch, usually located above the clutch. There will be two wires, one that shows 12V all the time, and another that will show 12V when you press the clutch in. Cut the wire that is switched and put it through the relay like so...
85 Second starter wire from remote start (or another wire you can use that will show 12V when the car is cranking, like an ignition wire)
86 ground
30 the side of the wire that goes away from the clutch switch
87a the side of the wire that goes to the clutch switch
87 12V
This will "trick" your car into thinking the clutch is pressed in when you remote-start your car. If that clutch wire shows a switched ground, replace 87 with a ground. By sending that wire through the relay, the wire will still be connected when you star the car with the key, and it will show 12V when you remote-start. Hope that helps!

Ban low-performance cars, not high-performance ones.
an easier way of wiring it is just put the starter wire of the remote start AFTER the clutch switch. and just get a remote starter thats designed to work with a manual tranny car (like a compustar) and you have no worries for acidently leaving it in gear when you start it

Autopage makes some good ones for manual transmissions as well.
