Of course, you can start a manual transmission car by simply getting it rolling and pop the clutch.
I had to do that with my '63 Ford Falcon once. That's one reason I'm not fond of automatic transmissions. Of course, in a newer vehicle with electronic fuel injection, the battery must have enough juice to fire off the fuel injectors for a rolling start to succeed.

Not me. I see so very little genuine intelligence, how could I tire of it?

Manual gearboxes are going the way of the Do-Do bird unfortunately.

So true ,even the All the big truck fleets ,dump trucks included are going to Auto trannys . Talked to some friends that work at Peterbilt and Kenworth and they’re saying owners can’t find people to drive manual shift. They tear up clutches and grind gears to point of ruining trannys
I drove Auto Shift trucks for PAM Transport.
The 06 stranded me at least three times by not recognizing it wasn't out of gear.
The 08 Truck was much better.
It is common knowledge over here, that if you own a manual the chances of having it stolen are very slim, they don't even know how to start a manual car little alone drive one.
