Re: [DML] Re: Protecting your D look!!!

["Kevin Creason" <dmc4687@xxxx>]

I don't know about the automatic, but I doubt it will work properly. I know
the product won't work with the standard tranny because there is no
starter-tranny interlock doohickey.
You know, the starter will engage whether the tranny is in neutral or clutch
depressed or not.
The pedal lock depends on the starter to not work unless the clutch is
depressed; thus by locking the clutch up it could not be started. Not true
with my DMC12. Unless someone knows how to put an intertie in....
With an automatic, the pedal lock assumes that you can't shift into gear
unless the brake is fully pressed. Is that true with our 19 year old cars?
