Clutch Start is TOO DEEP

[eTiMaGo]

hey the way I learned to start a car, was to make sure it's in neutral by moving the stick left to right before turning the ignition, never had this fancy-pants safety feature in all those old cheapass cars we had

Real men don't need stupid safety reminders! We want to fight for the right to crank our cars into a wall!

actually, while on topic a friend of mine ripped the driver's door out of his dad's car when cranking the engine while the gear was in reverse.. Mega-oops!

As I said, I'm used to it now

That made me laugh, a real good from the belly chuckle. I remember having a car that I had to practically stand on the clutch to get it to engage. I say if you want to have it disabled, do it. I just wouldn't expect much sympathy if you were exercising your right to crank your car into someone else's.

Back to the tacoma and mine had the same switch, you were supposed to use that switch to use the starter to "drive" the vehical out to a stuck spot. I never did this because I can use a clutch gently to get out of the mud. But hell I had the locking rear end so there was no way to get it stuck. But you could easily pull the switch off your clutch and wire it so it thinks it is engaged. This won't affect anything other than make sure you have the clutch in when you start it or your gonna lurch!
