Back in the days I could do it alone. Used to drive a Volkswagen kombi bus. Here was the process:
- put on ignition
- open drivers door and push and get just a little momentum... helps if the road in sloping downwards but a level road was okay.
- jump in, throw gear lever into second gear and let go of the clutch.
- always worked for me.

You just relish suffering! grin

When you car doesn’t start,there can be several things at fault,including:

A blown ignition fuse
A bad battery
A damaged starter motor
A discharged battery as a result of leaving the lights on
A faulty ignition switch
A poorly operating starter


Whatever be the cause,it is possible to push start a vehicle equipped with a manual transmission even if you don’t have access to a set of jumper cables.
Here's how to get your car started without the use of jumper cables.

Step 1: Turn ignition on
Turn your ignition to the "on" position.

Step 2: Engage clutch;put into gear
Press the clutch firmly to the floor and put the car into gear.
Tip: Push starting a car in second gear allows you to start it smoothly and without a big jolt.

Step 3: Push car
Have your friend or friends push the car until you have achieved a speed of five to 10 miles per hour.
Tip: Let your friends know when you are about to pop the clutch so that they can get out of the way.

Step 4: Release clutch
Release the clutch pedal slowly.
Tip: Don't be afraid to give the engine a little gas at this stage,but not too much.

Step 5: Drive
Drive for a short distance after you feel the car start; just to make sure that the vehicle is actually running.
Don't forget to go back for your friends.
