Remote Starting A 5 Speed

Remote Starting A 5 Speed
Is it possible to Install a remote starter in a car with a 5speed transmission?

Assuming you mean Manual, this isn't a problem.... You need to install a safety (lockout) switch that will only allow it to start in neutral --- most kits should have this available.:)

I never knew you could do that.....:bandit:

I'll have to look into it and see how to go about getting it to work...thanx for the tip.

Also, try starting it in neutral withough pushing in the clutch. If it starts there you go. Some older cars do not have to have the clutch pushed in to start.

I want one of dem :D

clutch start canel button, its an 87 4runner, you just need to trigger it off, and make sure not to leave your car in gear, youll mess shit up if you try and start it in gear, Duhh :)

You guys on the wrong side of the Pool are weird! :p j/k

I've never seen a car that can't be started without clutch being depressed... :)

Most of myt 5-speeds could be started w/out clutch depression... Then again, most were Turbo dodges. But my stang, my Stealth, and my RX-7 that I had could all be started w/out clutch depression.. also, this is easily overridden.

Clifford makes a remote start for manual transmissions. You must have the vehicle key started. Then remote start the vehicle, remove the key, exit the vehicle, close the doors and arm the alarm. At this point the car shuts down. You may remote start the vehicle next time you need to provided a door has never come open. This prevents the vehicle from possibly being put in gear.

Interesting . . .

I installed an alarm system with remote start on my car (manual) . . .

I got around the clutch issue by permanently connecting the two wires that would be connected upon depressing the clutch . . . now i don't ever have to step on the clutch to start the car.

The alarm packaging explicitly said: "Not to be used on vehicles with standard transmission" . . . but I just thought that was because of bone-heads that keep their car in gear after shutting it off (what's that about anyway?) . . .

Long story short . . . the remote start won't work . . . the car comes on as if i have put the key in and turned it to the "II" position on the ignition . . . the guages come to life . . . but that's it. It was such a pain in the ass installing the damned thing that I refuse to take it out . . .

What year, make model vehicle? What remote start? I can probably help get you through it.

Here's the wiring spec's on your car. My thought is that you have hit the second starter wire as your crank wire, but all it does it hit the fuel injection enrichment for start. Both starter wires have to be hit for it to crank and start.

This may not line up right on this page, but here goes...


12V|white |+ |ign. harness |
| STARTER|black/white |+ |ign. harness |
| SECOND STARTER|black/yellow |+ |ign. harness |
| IGNITION|black/red |+ |ign. harness |
| ACCESSORY|white/blue |+ |ign. harness |
| POWER LOCK|orange/black |- |heavy harness in |
| POWER UNLOCK|orange/blue |- |drivers kick panel |

| FCTRY ALARM ARM|lt. green/red |- |theft warn mod. *1 |
|FCTRY ALRM DISARM|green/yellow |- |theft warn mod. *1 |

Cool! It worked!

Hey . . . thanks for that!

That sounds about right . . . cause for some reason it was recommended to me that I only use one starter wire (??). Somebody told me something like that was all we needed on these cars or something like that . . .

Also . . . what is the exact location of that door lock wire? that's another thing I had a problem with.

Door locks are in the harness exiting the drivers door. It is a pretty big harness. On some trim levels the harness comes into the body of the vehicle and goes straight up, making access very hard. On those vehicles I pull back the rubber boot that runs between the door and the body of the vehicle, tag my wires there, and drop them into the vehicle. Otherwise you can go to the door lock timer, which should be behind the glove box on the right hand side.

My '93 eclipse 5-speed needs the clutch depressed to start, will i need to bypass that by myself to install a remote starter or do remote starters come with special wiring for that?

If you are planning to install the remote starter by yourself, bypassing the clutch switch should be of no problem whatsoever.

Be sure to put it on a switch b/c some cruse control systems cut off when the clutch switch is triggered. It will also help you to remember to leave it in neutral.:D

I WORK AT A DEALER THAT INSTALLS AUTO STARTS wE USE THE COMPUSTAR I'M NOT SURE OF A WEBSITE ON THEM BUT THERE IS ONE THEY OFFER A KIT FOR MANUALS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WIRE UP A FEW MORE THINGS LIKE A BRAKE INPUT SENSOR. tHEY HAVE YOU CUT A GREEN WIRE IN THE COMPUTER THAT COMES WITH IT TO GO FROM AN AUTO TO A MANUAL. IF YOU HAVE THE MANUAL THE WIRE DOES NOT GET CUT CHECK UP ON IT THE NAME IS COMPUSTAR:sun:

Guy's if you do this please be carefull!!! I'll tell you a story.
I work at a Chevrolet Dealer, customer drops off his 95 Z28 6 spd. Has a remote starter hooked up through his factory keyless entry and never made any mention of it to our service department. Technician goes to get the car hits the unlock button, the car starts up and takes off across the parking lot hitting 4 other customer cars, 2 NEW Corvettes and 5 Cavaliers before it finally comes to rest. Forgot to mention that it also hit our lot porter. So needless to say there is all this damage and who is to blame?
Customer is in deep poop because his system had the disclaimer about the manual trans, he didnt notify anyone and now he is in ine of the biggest lawsuits I've ever seen here.
So please, if you do this not only be carefull yourselves but please make sure everyone who ever may come in contact ie. service departments, body shops, friends, whomever is aware it has been installed.
