No no no. Goddamnit. First "how to watch dvd's while driving" and now this. This forum is going to shit.
Okay, you want a remote start system that is made for manual transmissions. Newer Directed Electronics aka Viper or a Compustar. Or a separate module. These systems require a turbo-timer like setup. With the engine running you put it into turbo timer mode, pull your keys, get out of the car and close your door. The system shuts the engine down and will now allow it to remote start. It's a fool proof way to ensure that the car isn't left in gear.
Now to properly "bypass" the clutch lock system w/out compromising it's functionality: remote start systems have a status-output. This provides a negative signal when the remote start is engaged. You run this wire to the wire on the clutch switch that's not black. Most of the time it's blue/blk. DO NOT CONFUSE THE CLUTCH LOCK OUT WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH. The cruise switch will have a pink wire.
