If you car dies once your remove the jumper cables, it is most likely an alternator problem. Take your car to AutoZone or somewhere similar and they will test it for you. It could be that there is not enough charge in the battery to sustain the alternator. Try keeping the engine round 1500 revs while taking the jumper cables off.
If you plan on using the original shifter then you will need the one specifically for your car. If you plan on installing a universal shifter, then it will come with a new cable.
if you put jumper cables on the wrong way you WILL kill the battery then if you leave them on you will cause the battery to overheat and swell then will u least expect it, it will blow up.. it will be a miniature hydrogen bomb
If the key is on and the shift is in park you can safely start the unit by engaging the solenoid with a short jumper wire.
Connect positive cable to positive post on battery and negative cable to any metal body part or engine part. If this is one of the cars with the battery under the rear seat, there should still be jump start posts under the hood. Look for a red plastic cover marked with a plus sign.
It would be essentially the same as connecting a battery in the car, except with longer cables. You would have to use jumper cables to extend the car battery cables. Be sure to follow ALL safety procedures. Do NOT let anyone or anything metal touch anything else except where you make the connections. Do not touch the metal connectors themselves. I assume there is no battery in the car. I will call the battery that is not in the car the "external battery". First connect the positive ("+", usually red) jumper cable to the positive car battery cable, & then the other end of that jumper cable to the positive external battery terminal. Then do the same with the negative ("-", usually black) car battery cable & jumper cable. The last thing you connect should be the far end of the negative jumper cable to the negative terminal of the external battery. When you are ready to disconnect the external battery from these cables, do so in reverse order, starting with disconnecting the negative ("-", usually black) jumper cable from the negative external battery terminal.
Sounds like alternator is out.
The proper way to use jumper cables to boost a low/dead battery: (1) one end of positive jumper cable to "dead" battery; (2) opposite end of positive jumper cable to "good" battery; (3) one end of negative jumper cable to "good" battery; (4) opposite end of negative jumper cable to GROUND on "dead" vehicle. Remove jumper cables in reverse order.
1. Attach the jumper cable positive + (red) terminal to the good battery positive + (red) terminal.2. Attach other end of + jumper cable to + terminal of dead battery.3. Attach negative - (black) jumper cable terminal to negative - terminal of good battery.4. Attach the last jumper cable negative - (black) to a metal ground part of the engine you are trying to start.5. Start the engine of the donor vehicle and let it run for about 5 minutes to allow some charge to be applied to the 100% dead battery.6. Start the car and have a helper immediately remove the connections in reverse order of how you connected them.Warning: Be careful the jumper cable will not be hit by the cooling fan blades when the engines are started.

The function of cable select jumper setting is to let the cable select which drive takes priority ("master") and which one comes after ("slave").
If they are hooked up right and the motor won't turn over, you could have a bad battery cable in the car you are trying to start. Try hooking the negative jumper directly to the motor block, if it starts then, you have a bad ground cable. If not, try hooking the positive jumper to the terminal on the starter.

An Aran jumper is a knitted jumper with cable patterns on the chest, such as was originally worn by fishermen on the Aran Islands in the west of Ireland.
You can then open the hood and provide power to the vehicle with jumper cables and a donor car. If all else fails you can jack the vehicle up, support it on a jack-stand, and attach a red jumper cable to the starter positive red cable where it connects to the starter and then attach black cable to any metal place on the engine. You can use this procedure to charge the battery with either a battery charger for jumper cables from a donor vehicle.
