It's exactly the same as doing it in 1st gear. It's a bit rough on the motor and clutch assembly but for the most part everything is fine. Just make sure you have the key in the II position when doing this and prepare to catch the car fast before it stalls out. The engine, flywheel, and clutch always rotate in one direction only no matter what gear you have selected. Even rolling the car backwards and push starting that way will not cause the engine to rotate in the wrong direction, it's physically impossible unless you were to grab the flywheel or crank shaft bolt and rotate the engine backwards yourself.<a href="http://www.autostires.com/leonis-as-wheels-323"> SoCal</a> Yes you can “push” start a stick shift in reverse.

Everything will happen the same, except you'll be going backwards.<a href="http://www.healthstorebargains.com/srch/srch.php?q=Essential+Oil"> Good old Grim</a> It has to be one motherfucker of a hill to clutch start in reverse with nobody pushing… basically its about the same as clutch-starting in 1st gear.

You'll probably pop a gear if you do it backwards.<a href="http://www.promusicmall.com/acoustic-and-acoustic-electric-12861"> Carl_the_Truth</a> No. You need to put it it neutral and then kick it into gear once you get rolling.
