How do you start a car with auto transmission with bad starter?

You don't. You replace the starter and then start the car. In the past with older cars you could push start the car with an A/T and it would start at around 35 mph, but with modern transmissions I highly recommend against doing this. You may damage the transmission.


Is it safe to drive an automatic car on neutral gear?

You can't drive in neutral. If you mean tow it, not over 30-35 mph and not for more than 10-15 miles. The transmission will heat up and not be able to cool down.


Can you use a rolling start if a car with an automatic transmission will not start?

You can if you put it in neutral and push it to get a good enough start and try starting it and if it does then try to put it in drive and go yes and no you can not push start an automatic car. but if you can get it up to about 35 to 40 mph and put it in drive it will work but it is not worth the trouble . I would NOT do this unless you want to take the chance of buying a new transmission. You can not push start todays automatic cars. The engine drives the transmission hydraulic pump, not the driveshaft. Only the early Hydramatic transmissions from the 1940's and 50's you could push start if you got the vehicle up to aprox 25 mph or more.


Why would a 97 Taurus transmission shift back and forth between gears between 35 and 45 MPH usually on a incline?

If this only happens when on an incline then it is normal. Apparently the 35-45 mph area is where one of the shift points is. On an incline the car is gonna down shift to get better horse power to get up the hill. If it is going fast enough to reach the shift point though the car will sometimes go back and forth in gear shifts. Try to maintain a speed that will keep this from happening as much. If this vehicle has an overdrive selector on it then turn it off. This will keep it from going to over drive on hills and will result in better power to go up inclines. I hope I explained this ok. Good luck. tranny is shifting because it is choosing correct gear to operate try giving it a little more gas or a little less and it will stay in the appropriate gear


How fast does a tornado travel across the ground?

Tornadoes can vary in speed from stationary to over 70 mph. Speeds in the range of 25 to 35 mph are the most common.
