Not in any car built since the 1960s and not most of them.
Up until the 1930s cars were commonly equiped with Magneto ignition systems and they did not require a battery. Commonly these were hand crank start cars.
Into the 1960s cars were built with generators rather than alternators and some were self energising and would power the car once the engine spun up on a push start.
Generally, staring a vehicle with its battery is a quick and easy process. However, without the battery, you WILL NOT be able to start-up that engine, UNLESS, it is fully MANUAL TRANSMISSION ENGINE i.e " a gear shift vehicle. " Automatic transmission " vehicle WILL NOT be able to start without a battery. Now we know that Automatic transmission vehicle will not be able to start without it battery. Here is a very easy, but hard process to start a manual transmission vehicle that does not have a battery; " you will need to " PUSH_START " your vehicle in preferably 2nd gear, in order to the engine to fire up ". Side notes : If you were to turn off your engine or vehicle after it got started, you will have to PUSH_START it again.-Am not a vehicle mechanic, so if you need professional help, asked a mechanic : ). hope it helps.
Not if it is a manual transmission. And it's "AFFECT" not "Effect"
MANUAL TRANSMISSION because its more powerful and quicker then a automatic. Your muscle car will not have muscle without a manual transmission
If the transmission is a manual and for the 2.0 non turbo its underneath the battery on the top of the transmission
The owners manual shows Motorcraft BXT - 59 - for manual transmission and BXT - 65 - 750 for automatic transmission
Manual transmission is when you use the shift stick to shift to different gears in a car instead of driving without shifting gears,which is auto transmission.
Under the battery tray
car can be started an does run fine.
hold in the clutch
The battery, cables and starter may be bad.
Converting a manual transmission to automatic transmission is not possible but you can replace a manual transmission to an automativ transmission . That is also an expensive deal.
under battery on trans if it's a manual trans, there isn't one.
