My car is a manual and the car needs to be jump-started, can I do this from an automatic car?

Yes just make sure the automatic car is in " park " or neutral with the handbrake on . connect the lead`s then your away !
Check the water fluid level in your car battery as this cold weather tend`s to finish off older battery`s if they are not checked . there is an item on the market called " bat aid " it is a couple of little tablet`s that you put into each cell top up with distilled water ( boiled water that has gone cold ) then it revives the old cell`s in your battery .might save you having to fork out for a new one .
Also you might want to get your alternator / fan belt checked out in case it is`nt charging your battery properly .

Transmission type doesn't matter, but follow these directions closely.
Make sure vehicles aren't touching.
Connect positive cables.
Connect 1 ground cable to the battery or engine of the running vehicle.
Make the last connection AWAY from the batteryon the dis-abled car, preferably on the engine block somewhere.
Batteries generate HYDROGEN gas which is highly explosive (Hindenburgh ring a bell!) This last connection will generate a spark and if gas has collected it can cause an explosion.
Dis-connect in reverse order

Jump start means battery to battery, nothing else. Connect positive terminal from one car to positive terminal of the other,
and the same with the negative terminal. Then start car with flat battery, simple. Contrary to popular belief DO NOT attempt to tow start an automatic.

If you're however striving to increase you're straight and you are hoping to get the hands over the edge, set Vert Shock to the test, an application you will think it is here https://tr.im/Kvelo and provide it a take to, you'll be surprised of how quickly you can be a beast hopper in the event that you train the proper way.
The program will not cause you to jump tens of thousands of situations since Vert Shock was created and utilized by actual elite stage basketball players.
In regards down seriously to it, if you genuinely wish to leap higher, you simply found the best program on earth to accomplish so. Every other way would merely be described as a waste of time.

Yes you can jump start with jump leads it makes no differance what gears the cars have, dont forget the auto must be out of gear if you wish to tow start it, you cannot tow a auto car to start it . one you could damage the auto box two it will not engage gear , you can tow a manual car with an auto

Yes, jump-starting is independent of what type of transmission you have. At first I thought you were talking about "push-starting", which can only be done with manual transmissions.

You use jumper cables like you would for any vehicle!
Now, if you mean to push-start it, a manual trans car needs only to be pushed at about 3 miles per hour - then pop the clutch; for an automatic trans car, you need to be pushed at about 30 to 35 m.p.h.!

You really should invest in a defribulator because a car in the condition of yours will soon need more than a person of your means can attend to. Sadly it too will soon die and life will never be the same for you or the bus system.
