V70 2000 old shape Bump starting

You can't bump start anything with an automatic, it has to be manual.

Get someone with some booster cables to start it for you.

Actually, it is possible to 'roll start' automatics if they have a rear pump. My old 122S with the Borg-Warner 3 speed auto would do it quite easily. I don't know how many modern automatics have a rear pump, though.

To bump start an automatic is going to require another car IF the transmission will allow it. And I doubt that it will. Why not just use the battery in the tow or push car to jump the existing battery and avoid the possibility of body damage. Or better yet hook up a battery charger or swap in a freshly charged battery.

The only cars i've bump started over many years of driving have been those with manual transmissions.

A suggestion for future posts would be to use simple puctuation in your message. All potential sentences in your original message are run-on and difficult to read.

Do NOT attempt to bump or tow start ANY auto. End of story.

As others have said before- you can do it with an old school mechanical box with rear pump, but not on anything newer. Therefore just assume you can't, as ££££ repairs often follow.
