With clutch technology being what it is today, I can't imagine trying to push start a manual trans car. The static gripping force of the clutch at zero RPM wouldn't be adequate to lock up the drivetrain and start the engine. I can tell you for a fact that would be the case in my car, I can set the linelock at an idle and let out the clutch pedal and the car will not move. Based on that, I am quite sure trying to push start the car would not work.
