Can you push start an automatic ?
How ?

Powerglides and (I've been told)some other trannys from the early days yes.

Anything else, no.

Got a cheap C4 141 tooth flexplate ?

Looks like you need a Balkamp 6005058 from NAPA, listed online at $68.99

Sorry, I don't have any

Mercedes automatics pushstart, and I've heard that some other german cars do, too. No domestics will, that I know of.

Just won a bid on e-bay for 141 tooth 28oz flexplate.
once I have it, off it goes to the machinist for 50 oz balancing.
New flexplate for $35 plus $10 S&H. not bad.

Nice, I think I paid $89 for mine.
