2 questions

i put a c6 in where my manual transmission used to be, before i finish installing universal floor shifter, xmember, driveshafts i replace starter with auto starter. my question is since im goin from manunal to auto, u have to press clutch to get to start, do i have to mod n e thing so to get it to start? i turned key and nothing, battery charged. turn the key and everything just shuts off, could still be the battery maybe not charged enough/?

second question, on the solenoid, if ur looking at it on the right side theres a small nut with a wire, is taht a ground wire? cause it came disconnected, i dnt know when. help asap

i THINK THE CLUTCH SWITCH IS UP ON THE top of the pedal, if you jump across it that will complete the curcuit and you dont haave to push the cluch. If you are leaving the pedal there I think you can remove the return spring and the pedal will stay on the floor, out of the way.

i starts, so the next problem how to get the extractor out? i may have to weld the mount on the one side, and bolt the other side, i have a mig welder, with minimal welding experience, think itd work, i would buch rather get the extractor out, theres nothing to vice grip to and ive tried turning it by smacking with hammer n screw driver, but theres almost no meet to bang again to spin
