why is said that automatic cars are not to be pushed when they stop.

You can push it. Just ensure d car is in neutral.

It is not easy to push start an automatic car
.The main reason why it is
difficult is that the automatic transmission uses a
torque converter which is not designed for
reverse motion. Hydraulic pressure will be
required to make the automatic transmission
transmit power flow; therefore, a mechanic
should be sought during such eventualities.

You can push it, but not pushing to start it incase of battery problem.

rextimon: why is said that automatic cars are not to be pushed when they stop.

Where did you get that story from? You can push it out of the way but its not possible to push start it by hand. You may tow start it but will require you towing it at a speed of up to 50/ 60kmph.

Because if that's what he said (an automatic can't be pushed) he obviously doesn't know his ársehole from a hole in the ground.

Wait a minute - who needs the advice, yourself or your mechanic?
