News to me too!If you mean roll-starting an automatic, yes it can be done.
By the way, I am still stuck in the old days with the manual myself. I have not converted to these new fangled automatics yet.

Believe whatever you want, I've explained it as well as I'm going to. It's a simple thing to do for those who aren't non-believers. I've done it and so has Lowranger in post #82 above.Yea. I’m a none believer. Please educate me. Roll starting a automatic in N then put it in D? It’s a good way to fuck up your transmission. I don’t think it will start your Jeep
Do Jeep’s have a rear pump driven by the drive shaft ?

This is a Wrangler TJ forum, I confine my comments to what is appropriate for them. Not all automatics can be roll started but even my '57 Chevy with its 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission was one that was easily roll-started. You just have to make sure the ignition is on before doing it.So your exclusively a Jeep guru. Sounds like Jeep’s can be roll started cause of the rear pump.
I didn’t see where you explain anything. Just saw you state that you can roll start an automatic.

That about covers it. Triple the weight of a 1970s jack, add 2 feet to the handle, and let all that extra momentum hit you in the face.Are they just a giant version of the 1960s-1970s bumper jacks
I'm not sure what vehicle it was Thunderhead, but it was an automatic I know for sure and it was in the late 70s when it happened. Turn the key on, but the transmission in to gear and started pushing it.....got it up to a pretty good speed, may 35, 40 or so and it started. That's all I know, couldn't tell you what kind of car or transmission, but it started and off he went. Wish I could be more help.And I have an auto. Just drove 45 mph shut it off, in neutral shift to drive and nothing
Help me out @lowranger what else ?
It was an auto, and if there is no rear pump, it wont start in drive. There was a main road 4.5 miles up, came up short, but that main was way farther from pavement than I was expecting...but Keroke was good at the bar that night at the Cowboy bar though. 41°15'8.33"N 114° 0'29.16"W Google earth it...if you want. It was a long day. TimTim since you couldn't start the engine due to a bad starter motor, why did you roll 4 miles down the hill without using that downhill momentum to start the engine? Pop the clutch or shift to Drive with the ignition switch on will start the engine when the starter motor isn't working
That is too clean of a cut......you used a chainsaw Mister....
