i have a 96 5spd. im not sure about this but arent you allways supposed to push the clutch in to start the car? i just put the stick in neutral and then turn the key. Im just wondering why this may be

 

The clutch may have been bypassed, I did this on my maxima when I did the conversion from Auto to 5 speed

 

My old 5 speed Toyota started that way... I thought all 5 speeds did... I guess I'm wrong.

 

might of had remote start on it ? cus when i installed myn i bypasses it by connecting the two wires behind the clutch together

 

That is a safety switch, and you are not suposed to bypass it just for funn. That switch makes sure that you can't start the car while in gear, all modern cars and motorcycles are required to have a switch like that.

 

thanks mom

 

seriously, if you dont want it, than why have it? you need to relax plusinfinit

 

got remote start, no longer need to push down clutch to start car

 

Just make sure you dont leave it in gear

 

its in neutral lol

 

i would like to know how to do this....

 

i had an old honda that kinda had the same problem. Car would move when in gear automatically even when clutch was pressed in.

I think it might be a problem with clutch master cylinder. It doesn't fully disengage when clutch is pressed in.

 

Any side effects of starting a car without pressing a clutch?

 

My car starts without me pushing on the clutch..

 

My 95 has always done that. I think the FSM says there is a safety switch there, but mine doesn't seem to have it. The first time I noticed this, I thought it was because us Canadians were smarter than you guys down there and didn't need to practice safe "clutch".

 

I don't dare to try and start my car without pushing the clutch in for fear of the unknown

 

nothing happens when you start yoru car without pressing clutch. Your car just loses power when you turn the key to start. Go try it, it's not gonna hurt unless you do it when the car is ON

 

what do u mean it looses poweR?

 

Dosnt mater if you leav it in gear my car wont remots start i hooked up my car to the main switch that tells the car if its in gear..

 

oh yea i tried it be4 i tapped my new switch the car jerks then gose...

 

mine always started with out pushing on a clutch...












oh, turns out only 5sp had them..

 

I think he means when the power source transfer from battery to alternator ... maybe
