it could be a problem since the newer vehicles need battery power to operate the ECU.

Yes, assuming the starting system is the issue, you can push start a modern clutch car/truck.
Dead battery? Nope.

before 1965 you could push start an automatic... on some models the transmission spinning from the driveshaft created enough fluid pressure to lock the torque converter and turn the engine over
showing my age again lol

Some, like the Torqueflite never had a rear pump though. Dog, the Powerslide only was able on the cast iron models, they eliminated the rear pump when they went to aluminum. God, I guess many here have never seen an Aluminum one much less a cast iron one...... We ARE getting old. |

I don't know but Granny's old 55' Buick was smooth, could barely feel the shift. Most those old trannys shifted smooth.Not the positive electronic shifts of today.. I'm going to guess the old turbo 300 for this one..... |

My neighbor, growing up, was a true gear-head. He had a 1954 Chysler. It was what I would call "semi-automatic". It had a clutch that was only used to start you forward or start you backward. Neat car. He gave it to me! (My folks shot down that idea soooooo quickly.)

My buddy got a new 2014 Chevy Malibu. 4 cylinder, auto. He says when he comes to a stop sign, the engine shuts down. It restarts when he lifts his foot off the brake and presses the gas pedal.
How would you like to push start this car?
