Can you use a rolling start if a car with an automatic transmission will not start?
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.
How can start your car if your starter is dead?
If it's a "stick shift" (manual transmission) have someone push or pull your vehicle using another vehicle, then put YOUR vehicle into second gear and release the clutch. The engine should start right away so be ready to take the car out of gear and use the brakes to keep from hitting the car that's pulling you. If it's an "AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION"... replace the starter. You can't push-start an automatic.
How can you start your car if the starter is bad?
Manual cars can be started with a bad starter due to the ability to roll start the car. Automatic transmission cars are not so lucky. To roll start a manual car all you need to do is put the car in gear with the key in the "on" position, push in the clutch, get the car to roll, then quickly release the clutch. The transmission will slam into the engine and force it to turn. Don't forget to push the clutch back in once it starts or the car will stall.
