Mostly when I was much younger of course, but I did do it again just a couple of years back.<br><br>In 4th gear, its possible to move the car from a standstill. Doesn't turn the engine fast enough to start, but lets you get fuel pulled into the cylinders. Once it "wants" to start, push it out of gear as fast as you can, then jump in, drop it into 2nd and pop the clutch.<br><br>Back before my first alternator conversion, I used to have to do that almost every night, after getting off 2nd shift. The generator worked, but couldn't keep up with headlights, wipers, heater and so on; let alone recharge the battery from a cold start in the few miles I drove to work.<br>-- Randall<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
