What to Do When a Manual Transmission Car Won't Start Due to a Dead Battery?
1 Answers
Find someone to help push the car to get it started. Once the car reaches a certain speed, shift into gear, quickly release the clutch pedal, and press the accelerator. Once the engine starts, quickly press the clutch pedal while controlling the throttle to prevent stalling, then slowly pull over to the side. Alternatively, find another car nearby with a working battery and a set of jumper cables. Position the cars close together, open the hood, and locate the other car's battery. Connect the jumper cables to both batteries, positive to positive and negative to negative, effectively linking the two batteries in parallel.
