Don't bump start. You can really stress the axles. If you do bump start, use the highest gear. Coasting with the engine off also cuts your engine lubrication. So, you are restarting each time. It is not as bad as a cold start, but I don't recommend it.

hm... interesting my axles get banged when i bump start at really low speeds like 15 km/h or 10 km/h in 2nd or 3rd sometimes. 4th I rarely get a bang and 5th is usually smooth but sometimes rev goes a little to high. So far 4th has been very good to me....
but that means i'll have to bump start when my speed gets below 30km/h... then idle drats! Aw man a few mpg or a new axle Ill dedcide hMMMMMMMMMMMMM
as for lubrication that's what synthetic mobil 1 0-20w oil for hybrids are for! Works for regular cars that support 5-20 like mine but I yet have to make the switch!
plus I heard putting it in your tranny fluid gives it boost too! maybe more silky bump start?
