Do you mean a push start, assuming a manual transmission?

Yeah, push. Kinda jumped when I let the clutch out though


I've push started vehicles with standard shift.
No fun, but it can be done. Helped start a farm
tractor that way, one time, also. Pull it around
with a yet larger tractor, until it starts.


Push starting a car with standard shift is easy. I used to do it, by
my self, regularly, with our Gremlin (the most appropriately named car
in history). Well, it gets to be a problem if you have fuel injection
and the battery is completely dead. DAMHIKT.
