i tried push starting my civic because i dont have a powerful enough battery and when we tried push starting the car and the tires would just lock up when i let the clutch out...any ideas?

 

Make sure you're in first gear, and push harder!

 

Take the e-brake off.

 

believe me we were going fast, tried both in 1st and reverse

Obviously I am since I know how to push start a car.

You suck at push starting cars!

 

engines seized, yeah i dont know how to push start a car, thannk

 

i definatly would not push start in reverse lmfao if your moving forward, maybe the road surface was slippery with like dust/ gravel, i always use 2nd gear in mine too its alot easy for the engine to turn over in a higher gear.

who is that retarded, lol, obviously i was going backwards when i tried it in reverse

 

Try it in 2nd gear, first puts lots of drag on and just slows you down, it's like engine-braking.

 

hahah hopefully not you but, with Honda-Tech, sometimes you never know

 

why don't you just jump it if the battery is not powerfull enough?

 

yeah the engine is for sure seized, we tried jumping it and the engine just doesnt turn over fast enough....and tried jump starting it in 2nd and it just locks the tires up and scretches(sp) really bad, so yeah the engine most likely is seized

 

try letting go of the clutch a lil slower. u mite be letting off the clutch too quick
