I love that about the older stick shifts if the battery dies, get to pushing as quick as you can, hop in pop the clutch and it’ll crank. Then drive it to the auto store for a new battery….
My 2019 ram’s battery died last Saturday, I jumped it from our car and tried driving it to the parts store, since literally everything on it is electronic and works off 12V DC, the truck would run but it wouldn’t shift out of 1st gear because of the electronic shifter, it wouldn’t come out of control stabilizer mode because the rear end is an electronic locking differential… needless to say you could jump it and pull it off the road but that’s about it. Went and got a new battery ($229 who ever would have thought?) and everything was back to doing like it’s supposed to….. I hate electronic controlled automobiles
