Rudders   10 #25 Posted April 1, 2009 Even if you could bump start an automatic, it could possibly cause lasting damage to the cat converter in the exhaust by pumping unburnt petrol into it I believe.  Some automatics don't have catalytic converter exhausts but whatever they have to do with with bump starting an engine with an automatic gearbox is beyond me?  You simply can't do it.

Some diesels do too but only a small percentage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
