Why would you want to do that? Do you want to make it possible to
start the car when it's in gear? That switch is a device to help you
from accidentally damaging the car... why would you want to disable
that capability?

In Asia, Europe, all M/T equipped cars don't have this feature. It
is solely for Americans because I guess Americans don't have to pass
a separate driving exam with M/T car in order to drive one. I have
enjoyed the privilege of not having to step on the clutch to start my
Acura 88 Integra. All you have to do is shake the shifter before
cranking. I like it this way because sometimes I sleep on the
passenger seat and would like to turn the car on and off with AC;
also it makes it easier while working outside of the car in a tight
garage, I just have to reach in and crank. I have heard a lot of
people disable this to install autostart and for their convenience.
I have never hit the wall with my 88 Integra while cranking. Even if
it is in gear and you start it the car won't go forward too much.

In Asia, Europe, all M/T equipped cars don't have this feature. It
is solely for Americans because I guess Americans don't have to pass
a separate driving exam with M/T car in order to drive one. I have
enjoyed the privilege of not having to step on the clutch to start my

I have never hit the wall with my 88 Integra while cranking. Even if
it is in gear and you start it the car won't go forward too much.
