Did you try in reverse? I found out with my SAAB that it popped way easier in reverse, rather than 1st. That thing’s 1st gear was ridiculously torquey.
First? You shovestart with second gear, because the compression on the first gear is always a bit much, and even a bit of speed (like a small decline on the road for easier pushing, or two people pushing the car) is enough for second to roll and as soon as it does you just clutch.
Idk, that’s how I was taught to do it, in rural Finland.
No but that vehicle is long gone so unfortunately I can’t test it. Long story short I got tired of driving a giant gas guzzliing truck (Chevy Colorado) and traded it in for a 350Z Roadster (also in manual, of course). I figured if I’m going to get shit fuel economy, it might as well be in a vehicle that’s actually fun to drive.
Depends. I once drove a 2007 Chevy that absolutely refused to be push-started. I think it was an anti-theft feature.

But what would we know about getting cars back on the road, eh?
