if i remember right, it's just a plug that you disconnect somewhere under the steering wheel. search here, i'm sure you'll find it

I believe that means that your neutral safety switch has been bypassed.

your clutch plug has been unplugged... probably for a remote start unit. that's what i did when i put my remotegart in.

There is a switch on the cluch pedal that needs to be disconnected if you want to install a remote starter. If you take a look down there toward the top of the clutch pedal you'll see a barrel shaped switch with some wires coming out. Follow the wires for less than a foot and they go into a gang connector. If this gang connector is disconnected then you won't have to push the clutch to start it. Here's a pic of the gang connector to check out. If this gang is connected then it's most likely a problem with the switch.
