    10 Amps is not the issue. The issue is it doesn’t put out ANY amps until it is running at somewhere around 2000 RPM. So, I suppose it might be possible to rev it up and slam it into gear. On the other hand, if the battery isn’t completely dead, it should put out enough to shift, even if not enough to run the starter. In any case, time to head for home.
