I just can't see this as a long lasting viable solution...what do you have against an automatic anyway? not all autos are created equal. I have heard a lot about the one in the yaris that would keep me from having one but other cars aren't as bad.

No.

Clutch safety switch disabled in this vehicle. Starts without pushing clutch in.

To start:

Put it in first.

Crank engine.

Engine turns, car moves, engine starts and you are moving in first gear.

No clutch needed!

Automatic transmission: poor mileage, less control over speed (does not slow when taking foot off gas) does not last as long as a manual does.

Feet screwedup.

Cant push clutch in.
