Re: does bump starting your R hurt it (vtec.dc2)
ignition on ....... Clutch in but in first gear..... get the car rolling ..... release clutch .... car starts
I don't think it's hurts to do it a few times, but I don't know about long term.
I did it just the other day, in fact.

I prefer 2nd gear, it seems a little smoother/less painful to the tranny....

2nd gear and jump starting it lessens the jolt to the car.

you can do this in any gear.. ever had your car alsmost die but then you pushed the clutch in, its pretty much the same thing..

Re: does bump starting your R hurt it (vtec.dc2)
had a beater that I would have to do it on twice a week. Never did it on the R, but I wouldn't do it that often, let alone if I didn;t really have to.
