I was thinking about that for the Clunker. When the clutch went out, I was easily able to start it moving in first gear with the key, and it worked surprisingly well, even on hill starts. I'm thinking about bypassing the switch so I can do the same to get moving at lights. The tradeoff would be more wear on the starter vs. less wear on the clutch (clutch is already all the way out when the car starts moving.) Of course, this would only be on level/slightly downhill streets.
The starter is pretty easy to replace, so I figured I could buy a spare starter and keep it in the trunk for when I finally kill this one.
