Hi all, i have a dead starter and need to get my car to a buddys garage. Is it hard to pushstart a 5.0??? ANy tips? never done it before. thanks
Hmm, I do it a little differently. Depending upon rolling speed and gearing, i put it in 2nd or 3rd (second works pretty ubiquitously) with the clutch in. Once at speed, I let the clutch out pretty fast and as soon as it catches, I put the clutch back in. Then put it in neutral and drive normal.92stangg said:well first you need to turn the key so the fuel pump kicks on then get the car moving a little then hop in put it in first and pop the clutch and smash the gas and it should turn right on.

Well that is the difference - I dont have friends to help me and I can only get it rolling so fast by myself (hence second gear with 2.73's).NKau said:That's how I'd do it; 3rd gear would be my choice. If you use too low a gear, the tires will just skid. Turn the key to the run position, put it into 3rd (holding clutch to floor) have some friends get you rolling at a pretty good clip, and just dump the clutch.
