I think we are missing the point here...
Even if you DO pop the clutch and start her......Remember your battery is seriously drained.
After the car starts its mainly going to draw power from the alt.
When this happens there can be a voltage spike that can damage the ECU.
Will it happen every time? no,BUT.....do ya wanna risk it?
...just my .02

I know some of you guys dont believe what I'm saying,but I HAVE witnessed an incident where an inexperienced tech fried a ECU and a RCM(restraint control module)doing just that.
You dont have to believe me,but when it happens to you dont say you were never informed.

just a lil info..... check out 14.6

I know we are primarily focusing on the driveline shock though.
