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.

How Push-Starting Works

---

A manual transmission is designed like a direct drive system:The engine usually propels the vehicle by turning the transmission,but once it’s already in motion,a manual transmission can keep the engine running because of its momentum.

When you press down the clutch pedal,the transmission is disengaged from the flywheel on the back of the engine and it “freewheels.” The engine can rev but the vehicle will not be propelled forward in gear.

When you release the clutch pedal,the clutch engages with the flywheel on the engine’s crankshaft and the transmission input turns at the same speed as the engine.

Whenever you start your car,the starter motor turns the flywheel to begin the combustion process inside the engine.By push starting a car,you essentially use the vehicle’s momentum to act in the same fashion as the starter motor.

wahala wa o

ba se ma yo se fun motor lo tun kan bayii

youtube ti gbopo

internet ko lo ma ko wa niyen joor

u learn that as part of driving a manual....its a must

Thanks OP

Nice,finally i know the working principle of push-starting a manual car
But is it possible to 1) push-start a car with automatic transmission?
2)does continous push-starting a car has a side effect on the car?-you know the danfo bus owners dont like buying batteries
Pls car gurus over to you
cc GAZZUZZ,SmartchoicesNg,diportivo lacoruna,pls anybody

Imformative for Learners...

Most drivers of old vehicles know this..

Iyen Manual. Teach us how to push start auto

ok

Never knew this, always wondered how it was done. Thanks OP

dont forget to go back to your friends fr one bottle

Auto nko

Everything is learning, and no knowledge is a waste.

Nice one OP, you too much

ok

sweatlana:
Who else had a horrible night... no single sleep

OP what of automatic cars?

no network

Very good post OP
Thumbs up

If you havent learnt to do this since you started driving, that means you were born abroad and just got back to Nigeria yesterday.

BTW, you cant do the same on cars with automatic transmission gearboxes.

Cardoctor

For automatic transmission vehicles, do jump-start.

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.

Nice!

Nice

I think every automatic car owner need to have a jumper cable. And also be very nice to help jump start an automatic car owner in need.

the spark is supplied by the alternator generating electricity, and that completes the combustion, it is not the pushing that does the job. A completely dead battery will never START A CAR.

For Automatic Drives, the trick is to buy a very good JumperCables.

PUSH AND START

But this method ain't applicable to all vehicles oooooo.... OP u should b specific...
