Can an automatic transmission car be push-started?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission car cannot be push-started, with specific details as follows: 1. Automatic transmission cars: Because automatic transmission cars are connected to the engine by a component called a torque converter, which is a sealed container filled with fluid and involves soft contact. Without sufficient speed, it is impossible to drive the engine. Therefore, an automatic transmission car cannot be push-started. 2. Manual transmission cars: On the other hand, manual transmission cars have clutch plates that can make hard contact with the flywheel. By pushing the car, the pushing force can be transferred to the engine's pistons, forcibly compressing the gas in the engine cylinders for combustion.
