The basic method to manually jump start your car is : Have someone to help push your car. Put your car into neutral and turn the ignition key to the on position. Make sure it is safe to pull away. Have your helper push the car to gather speed. Once you have picked up some speed, use your clutch and shift the car into 2nd or 3rd gear.

In principle the instructions on how to push start a manual car are simple: turn the ignition key, put the clutch in, get the car in gear and then start to move forward. Once you’ve gathered enough speed, “pop” the clutch and the engine should fire.
