Hi there!Don't modify the pedal.Look under the dash where the pedal arm comes down there should be a switch.This is the switch to keep the car from starting without pushin the clutch.Unplug the switch and connect a jumper wire between the 2 terminals in the wiring harness.This should make it so you can start the car without the clutch being pushed in all the way.Hope this helps!Thanks
