Now why didn't I realise that?

Depress the clutch? What weirdo engineer thought that that was a sensible requirement? Why not just insist it's in neutral, like all sane manuals?

(And my father was a professional automotive engineer, once he stopped being a professional racing driver. And I read for an Engineering degree.)

I think we have some gratuitously stupid designers, there. I now wonder if all Chryslers are that weird.

(All of which goes to say that you weren't being stupid in being unable to get it going. The manual did not match the reality.)
