Can I disable the clutch start button on my 2011 6MT
Any issue with getting the pin that allows the car to start to stay in the depressed position. I am the only driver. i dislike having to get in the vehicle all of the time to start it or needing to really push deep to get it to depress.
Only issue i can see is turning just accesories on as it would go directly to start up..
Any ideas/thoughts.

If you start it while it's in gear, it will be propelled forward.
You might be able to adjust how much you need to depress the pedal, but either way, after driving the car for a few months, it should be second nature.
Everything is defeatable, but consider why it's there in the first place.

My old civic had remote start that would bypass the clutch.
I left it in 1st with the handbrake up one time and started the engine to warm it up... Lets just say it didn't roll into the side of the garage and stall after the accident.

Our dumb country is the only one that disabled the ability to start the car in gear. Technically it can move a car that can't start. I don't think it's really hard to push the clutch in though....the hassel of doing something that you have to do anyway?

The United States is currently 18th among the 36 industrialized nations.
<table class="answer_segment" width="100%" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"> The United States is no longer the world leader in secondary education, according to the rankings of an international organization.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development places the United States 18th among the 36 nations examined, USA Today reported Wednesday.
Headed to the top of the heap is South Korea where 93 percent of high school students graduate on time compared with the United States where 75 percent receive their diplomas.
The seemingly downward trend of U.S. education worries economists.
"The United States has rested on its laurels way too long," Jacob Funk Kirkegaard of the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, told USA Today. "Other countries have increasingly caught up and surpassed the United States."
"We've been asleep for a good number of years as a country," says Richard Freeman, an economics professor at Harvard. "It's not that we're doing horrible. But the other guys are moving faster."

It's a damn shame too, when all our kids are punk skateboarders that like smashing their nuts on rails instead of hitting the books.
I'm an engineer in the oil and gas industry and most of my coworkers are not even American citizens. It's sad when your country can't even find educated workers to fill positions and have to go to other countries to hire their people.

Better tell Germany also, the Audi I rented in Stuttgart last September had the system. I think all manuals do everywhere.

They must have changed the laws there too. It used to be so you could move a car with the starter, but honestly it's not a big deal to push the clutch in and then let it out.
