does anyone know of a remote car starter that will work with standard cars? my s10 and im sure ALL standard cars, u have to push the clutch in to start. which cant be done.... unless u push on it. Is there any remote car starter out there that can buy pass this? This winter id love to roll outa bed, hit the button, get showered and dressed and walk out to a nice warm car.:devil:

When I got mine istalled on my truck (mine is an automatic) we were talking about standards and they said they can install them you have to remember to put the vehicle in nutrual ever night when you shut it off or it will try to go when starting it.

Do you have Ziebart in your area? That's where I bought mine. Any performance shop probably has them, and could tell you.

btw... mine is for an automatic, but I believe they work for both.

well yeah it will work if the clutch is compressed. but if ur not in the car how am i gunna get the clutch pressed in, the only way i could do that is if i by passed what ever wont let it start w/o the clutch being in, basicly im looking for a remote starter specificly made for standard cars, GNCCer i think u have one right?

That's why I suggested you call a Ziebart if you have one around, or a performance shop. They could better answer your question if they have a model specific starter. ;)

it can be done, but i doubt a professional garage will install it cause of liability, safety issues.

i dont know about your s-10, but on my eclipse there is a wire or something for the clutch that you can disconnect and then you can start the car without pushing in the clutch....which isnt safe, but it can be done...

I'm sure it can be done. You probably just have to leave it in neutral and put the parking brake on or something. Or just do what LTandrap rider said and go to your local auto performance shop..I'm sure they know better than (most of) us.
