How to push start a car bumb starting auto clutch starting crash starting popping the clutch DIY

Push starting, also known as bump starting, clutch starting, popping the clutch or crash starting is a method of starting a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine by engaging the manual transmission whilst the vehicle is in motion. The technique is most commonly employed when other starting methods (automobile self starter, kick start, jump start etc.) are unavailable.

The most common way to push start a vehicle is to put the manual transmission in second gear typically, switching the ignition to on/run, depressing the clutch, and pushing the vehicle until it is at a speed of 5 to 10 mph (8 to 16 km/h) or more, then quickly releasing the clutch to make the engine rotate and fire, then quickly depressing the clutch so it does not stall. This is done by one person pushing a lightweight automobile, pulling or being pushed by another vehicle or even rolling down a hill.
