If the clutch is engaged, the car should not start. If the clutch is depressed then you should be able to start it, no matter what gear the shifter is in. There is a clutch switch that checks to see if you have to clutch pushed in before it lets you start the car.

yes i know you could start the car in any gear if you push down the clutch pedal but we aint pushing down on it and the car is in 1st gear and he starts it up or in any gear with out pushing pedal down he can start the car and wont stall just keeps reving and when he shifts into gear it still runs with out stalling i am going to check slave cylinder cause pedal also goes down to the floor and wont come back up.
