1st make sure you buy an alarm designed for manual trannsmissions.  thats a biggie.

2nd you;ll make a relay that is energized during the remote start process to simulate the clutch being pushed in.  i think its a (-) trigger if i remember right.

No relay required for the ProStart ( model 3160M ) there is a wire on the P10 harness that is a (-) trigger for clutch activation.

Couldn't you just tie in to the starter wire after the clutch switch?  Also, what does the remote start designed for manual tranny have as opposed for an automatic one?

Go to Carsound.com and research the subject. There are many ways to safely integrate RS with manual transmissions. Ive devised mag switch systems placed on all gears of the shift gate and had tie ins with the E-brake and reverse lights to ensure the car is not in gear. Some vehicles nowadays have sense wires going to the BCM when a car is in gear.

Someone pass me that bottle.

Clifford remote start systems work perfectly with manual transmissions and even diesels.

They have a "safe start" mode that actually arms the alarm first and then shuts the vehicle off for you, so it knows it's in neutral and the parking brake is on. The range is up to 1200' and all the wires you need come right out of the brain. If the alarm triggers you can't remote start because a thief may have put the car in gear. I haven't seen anything better in my career.

This Prostart is the same as the Clifford system. You have to first close all doors and hood, put the car in neutral, then start the car, put the park brake on, push the start button on your remote, then take the key out, get out of the car and close the door, then push the start button on the remote, then the car will sut off and be ready to be started by the remote.

I put the DEI Rattler 359D in my 87 RX-7 with a five speed.  It is a remote start/keyless entry unit, my clutch safety switch was a 2 wire switch, so i removed the switch and soldered the two wires together.  You just have to make sure that the vehicle is always in nuetral before you start it so that nothing bad happnens.
