So my question is...can I get a remote start to work with a manual transmission even though it won't start without pushing the clutch in. I guess I'm asking if there is a bypass for this problem...

As I'm still working on my neutral safety switch I'll have to do this in two bits. So, this is how I made it.
My plan is to detect the left and right position of the gearstick. My thinking is if I know if the position is either: (1st or 2nd) or (3rd, neutral or 4th) or (5th or reverse) or Chances are slim that I'll park in 3rd or 4th so if I can cover left and right with push to break switches and then set it up so if the circuit is broken, the remote start is disabled. To do this I've got two long lever microswitches which I positioned to cover the right hand (for RHD vehical) linkage. I stuck these to a sticky pad so I knew their position relative to each other (white pad in photo 1)  Photo 1Then I cut up a plastic card to the right size and superglued this to fix the two switches as one. I also scratched up the card with a blade to help the glue. Once this was set I peeled of the white sticky pad and repeated on the other side. The switches were wired so when neither is pressed a current can flow, but the circuit is broken if either switch is pressed. (Photo 2)  Photo 2, In this photo, centre two wires are connected. The light has run out here so I can't install this today. But I'll extend this when I get a chance. |
