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!

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.

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.
