Cant Start SC with clutch!

Cant Start SC with clutch!
I just finished my Auto to 5Speed conversion this past weekend. I did run into a couple problems and a couple things that made me think..
First let me say this..I am currently running on my automatic transmission's complete driveshaft on my 5speed transmission! I dont know how, I dont know why.. . This is one huge mystery. For some reason my 5speed one did not fit. It ended up being shorter by about 4 inches.
Well anyway lets get on point here. After installing everything I realized I couldnt get the car to start. I know there is a sensor that is mounted on the clutch pedal that lets you start the car when the clutch is applied. I have that sensor but I cannot find a plug for it. Should I find some wires and make my own? Im currently starting it by putting the key in the ignition and leaving it turned, then I tap two wires I rigged up that trigger the starter then separating them once the car is started. I dont want to do this anymore. A couple people had recommended that I just get a push start button but thats not really my thing.
Is there anyway I can get my car started using the clutch pedal?

Congrats on the swap man On my 5-speed I know the little sensor is underneath the clutch pedal and it pushed in when I push in the clutch all the way. I dont know if you would need this sensor, or hell maybe even the whole 5-speed ECU. Honestly, the push button start would be the best idea

I doubt that lexus made the interior harness different (though they might have....I know BMW does) so the plug should be tucked away in there somewhere. If not, just run wires going from the switch to the ECU. Also the reason the driveshaft is different is because the diff housing is shorter on the auto cars (if Im not mistaken).

when i converted a car from auto to manual, a trans am.. i had to leave the shift selector switch in the console wired, and leave it in the park position. It make for a great security device.

What ECU are you running? What did you do with the auto shift selector? The plug that came out of it for the "park" switch? This small wiring task should be very simple to do with a volt meter and wiring diagram.
