I am really interested in getting one for my 88 Coupe 5 Speed.
I have heard of two different ways of bypassing the clutch so the car will start and think that the clutch is down.
A particular alarm I am looking at on ebay is made specifically for manual transmissions. In order for it to work properly, its says that once it is installed, you engage the parking brake, put it in neutral, take the key out of the ignition (the enigine will continue to run), then get out of the car, shut the door, and the engine will turn off. This way, the remote starter brain will know that it is in neutral, since you closed the door with the car running, and will start the next time you hit the remote start button.
I really don't want to use this, because its complicated, and because if you open door again after its ready to be remote started, this resets it, and it won't remote start if you try it next time. The only way to do is to do the whole "take the key out and shut the door while its running" thing..
The other way I have heard is to bypass the clutch interlock system. I don't anything at all about this, but Chrisk from the G2 forums said hes done this and it took about 30 seconds to do. I would assume if you did it this way, you won't have bother with the whole shut the door with the car running thing.
What I would like to know is if any of you have done option #2, if it worked properly, and exactly how it is done.
If worst comes to worse, I will do the other thing with the engine running deal, but if option #2 can be done, then I would def. opt for that.
Thanks in advance!
Pete
