How to Push-Start a Manual Transmission Car?
1 Answers
Before pushing the car, turn the key to the ON position to power up the vehicle without manually cranking the ignition. Then depress the clutch pedal and shift into second or third gear. When the pushing speed reaches about 10km/h, release the clutch while gently applying some throttle. The engine should start when you hear it firing and running. Quickly depress the clutch again, shift to neutral, and control the throttle properly to complete the successful start.
