drained the battery is it okay to push start it?

any tips

 

have someone push it and when you get up top a good speed pop the clutch and be sure to press it back in..maybe itll start. I did it with my mustang all the time...lol

 

it works fine, unfortunatly with my recent starter problems ive had to do this 100+ times :P

 

yea you can. i reccomend 2nd gear, get someone to push you to a good speed. don't DUMP the clutch. kindalet it catch and then ease out of it quickly but dont' dump. makes it alot easier. you'll notice the engine trying to run if you did it. it''ll kinda rumble then pop clutch back it and it'll idle out. good luck!

nice. hope this works

 

If it is Manual...

1) Turn the key to the 'on' position.
2) Get it rolling. 3 mph should be good if the car is cold. Just barely rolling, if it is hot.
3) dump the clutch in first gear
4) as it starts, let the clutch out and give it a little gas.

If it is Auto, too bad.

 

Why not jump start it?

what he said...

 

 

Maybe jump starting it won't work. One time I had to disable my own alarm because it took a dump. In doing so, my starter was also disabled so I had to push start it to get it home.
