Have it in neutral , push it so it gets rolling then pop it in 2nd gear and crank it over.

u don't crank it over, u leave the key in on position -ignition on -

u dont' turn the key, u just drop the clutch , and it should fire up

ive done it a couple times on my buddies civic when his battery was dying, we just dropped the clutch in 1st gear and he was off, worked like a charm every time.

5 speeds the best way to go, many more advantages over automatic, i would never ever buy an auto. NEVER IN MY LIFE EVEN IF MY LEGS GET CHOPPED OFF
