My 88 BMW is a manual and does not have a clutch override switch...the engine will crank, even if it's in gear. Every other car I've had, being manual did have a clutch override switch (Ford, Hyundai and Subaru). My truck parks on a slight grade so I usually set the parking brake anyway, but knew about not needing the brake pedal to start (otherwise, how would remote start, be it via FOB or APP work?)
