Well yeah, obviously. Which is why no one will install it on a manual car, because in the manual the clutch is engaged unless someone pushes the clutch pedal in, which means the powertrain is always connected, which means that if the car is in gear and you turn it on it will lurch forward and kill people.

There is a clutch bypass wire, though, that I can stick a paper clip in to close the loop and then I don't have to press the clutch pedal in to start the car. That's the first step. The second step is a magnetic relay affixed to the shifter boot.
