Default Remote start for manual GTO?

I only have one key fob for my car and it doesnt work anyways so figured this would be a good investment. Any of yall have a remote start sytem in your cars? Not sure if you can get one for the GTO and since its manual..just looking for a suggested quality one if there is one

I would never put one on a manual. you leave it in gear and try to start it, could be a problem...just my 2 cents

Remote start for a stick is not the way to go, time to head to the dealership and order a new remote.

As others have mentioned, it isn't a good idea. Perfect example...

If you're like me, it wouldn't be a bad idea. I've never left my car in gear when I parked it, I always put in neutral with the e-brake up. You'd have to bypass a clutch sensor but I don't think it'd be too difficult.

Wouldn't be that had to bypass the clutch switch but would not rec. remote start on manual. Could prob get key fob cheaper than remote start system.

my car was an M6, but recently converted it to auto with a 4L80E and also added the viper smart start system, my main point to my post is...... We did not have to use one of the two keys as a "bypass key in an immobilizer" etc.
