Car Talk › Re: Can One Ever Jumpstart An Automatic Car Just Like A Manual Car? by oblo(op): 4:58am On Jun 12, 2012
I went digging somemore and cameup with another post on ehow contrary to the info I just posted...so now have 2 conflicting stories. So we need the experts here to shed light and tell us which is correct

""Stuck on the road? Jumper cables at home in the garage? If your car won't start you can get it moving with a roll start as a temporary solution. Also known as a push start, roll starting a vehicle is an option for emergencies only, when calling a tow truck or jump starting with battery cables is not an option.

Difficulty:
Moderate
Instructions

Make sure your vehicle has a manual transmission and that the emergency brake is on. A vehicle with automatic transmission can't be roll started. You must have a clutch pedal and be able to put the car in gear yourself. The emergency brake should be on before beginning a roll start. If the emergency brake is off, the car can begin rolling when you don't want it to.

Find help to push the vehicle. Don't attempt to roll start a car by yourself. You need help to push the vehicle up to a velocity that will engage the transmission once it's time to pop the clutch. Make sure the roadway is free of pedestrians and traffic before beginning a roll start.

Turn the key in your ignition to the "on" position. When you turn your key as far as it will go, that is the start position. The "on" position is just before the start position, where your key would naturally land after a normal start.

Take the emergency brake off and begin your roll while holding the clutch in. Make sure the car is in gear. Keep holding the clutch in as you continue rolling. Communicate with your helpers at all times and maintain control of the steering wheel.

Pop the clutch after the vehicle gains enough speed. The car should be in first or second gear. A first gear start will be jerkier than a second gear start the faster you are rolling. Between five and ten mph should be sufficient enough speed kick the transmission in.

If the roll start doesn't work bring the car to a stop by pulling the emergency brake and pressing the brake pedal at the same time. Repeat steps one through five, only this time wait to pop the clutch until you gain a little more velocity. If that doesn't work it's time to call a tow truck.

Tips & Warnings

Only vehicles with manual transmission can be roll started.
Never try to roll start a vehicle alone.
If the roll start doesn't work, bring the car to a stop by pulling the emergency brake and pressing the brake pedal at the same time!!!

Since I did not get no one for now to shed light I went digging and got this off the net.. I have not tried it dou but I intend to to see if its gona work!


"" Contrary to popular belief, you can jump-start an automatic car without jumper-cables.  It’s been documented and I managed to do it in a McDonald’s parking lot in Vallejo, California.  The principles are the same as with a stick shift car:

1)  Again, you will need to roll the car, so find a place and the right bodies to get the car in motion to about 5 miles per hour.

2)  Release the hand-brake and foot-brake, and put the car in second gear.

3)  Once the car gets up to about 5 miles per hour, try starting the car by turning the ignition.

4)  If that doesn’t work, keep the car in second gear and push down the gas as you turn the ignition.

Let me know if you have any trouble!""

I just got back online. Like I earlier said..this car is unregisterd. I am not dumb to claim an unregisterd car as registerd. This car was bought brand new and has been driven with a govt number by an honourable. Its his . That is d reason I masked the number. Those of u that made comments as to the registration take note. We are not fools here.
