Message	booster? I've driven a couple of cars without the clutch working, but if it stalls out on you... Well, you may not want to do this but... You can put the car in 2nd, turn the key and it will start but buck forward and immediately be driving in 2nd. to shift to 3rd, ease the shifter out of 2nd into neutral, let the rpms drop and gently force it into 3rd. That's how I managed to limp home - but depending on traffic it could be dangerous. Might be a good time to call AAA or a friend! -___________________________________________________________-
