Bit of a bump but ...

How is replacing a clutch cheaper than a starter? I can change the starter on my car in 30 minutes with a $20 unit from a junkyard.

If I had a manual and did this, I'd get rid of the safety switch on the clutch - reducing even more wear. Just leave the transmission in neutral and start it without pushing in the clutch - might save the throwout bearing a bit.
