You can if you put it in neutral and push it to get a good enough start and try starting it and if it does then try to put it in drive and go
yes and no you can not push start an automatic car. but if you can get it up to about 35 to 40 mph and put it in drive it will work
but it is not worth the trouble .
I would NOT do this unless you want to take the chance of buying a new transmission.
You can not push start todays automatic cars. The engine drives the transmission hydraulic pump, not the driveshaft. Only the early Hydramatic transmissions from the 1940's and 50's you could push start if you got the vehicle up to aprox 25 mph or more.

Why does an automatic transmission car start shuddering and sometimes cut out when you slow down at a junction or making turns or in reverse but the Oil and transmission fluid levels are ok?
That would depend on the make and model of the car, but it is usually a torque converter that needs replacing, or if it has an electronic torque converter switch, the switch is usually bad and needs replacing. If yours has a torque converter switch, unplug the connector and drive the car. If the transmission stops doing what ever it was doing, put in a new sensor and plug it back in.
