I don't know the link to the hack, but all you need to do is look under the dash, push in the clutch pedal and you will see the little switch that is pushed in when depressed. All you need to do is find a big enough tie wrap and zip it around the switch to keep it in the same position as it would be if you are pressing down the pedal and thats it. Its a 30 second hack.

just look under the pedal, theres a little metal switch when you press it, just have to zip tie it. you cant miss it,.
i love starting the car trough the window in summer time

Easiest Mod ever, I love it. Just make sure your aren't in gear when you turn the key.

Its easy and you need wire strippers, hmm strippers..... a cross screw driver and some electrical tape.

Unscrew the blue switch from the assembly and unplug the 2 wires from it. cut off the ends of the wires and strip about half an inch of insolation off them and twist together and tape it up and tuck it & tape it somewhere under the dash out of the way of the clutch pedal.

I did that hack afew weeks ago when i replaced my ignition switch. I still have the urge to press the clutch but Im excited to have one less click noise under the dash!

Thanks for the help, everyone.

After all of these years I have to hold the clutch just right for the switch to make contact and the car to start.

This should make life easier.
