We warned you that it was pricey.. A simple fix.. Just run a short jumper lead from the lower rite terminal of the starter relay to ground.. Note now it will start in any* gear even when the clutch pedal is not depressed.. Actually I prefer this way and have been running the RoadRunner for years this way. Just my ..
