clutch stuck to the floor... still driveable?

[StrokedSix]

so i'm assuming my slave cylinder is gone. there is a small pile of fluid under the trans. the car is at my apartment right now. is it possible to drive it still? can i manually pull the clutch pedal up to engage it? it'd be nice if i could get it over to my buddies place about 5 miles away.

just use your toes to pull it back out. my buddies 89 did that for about a month.. but then he got a new clutch.

so i can still drive it... i was just going to tie a rope to it or something.

am no clutch / tranny mastermind ... but i drove my friends car for a week like that. i don't know if it does any damage at all.. but hey fuck it, you can always fix it! the rope idea is awesome, haha.

Check you brake fluid level befor you do anything, I had a leaking slave
cylinder for a while that would do that when the fluid got low.

I ended up replacing the slave cylinder and flushing the system.

pulling up the clutch pedal won't engage the clutch.

You'll probably have to start the car in gear, then rev-match your shifts. to stop, pull it out of gear and stop normally, then shut it off and put it in gear. start the car when you need to start moving again.

This is only a temporary solution (ie, get me to the shop) as it will damage the transmission synchros over time.

it would also fuck the starter over. I did this before but i just coasted slow until the light turns green again.

Dude, how much is a tow truck in your area? I get a short local tow for $35...fuck a bunch of rope, killing your starter, syncros, whatever...call a couple of tow yards!

GL!

so i guess that was a bad idea then. i have another buddy that lives down the street a ways so i'll probably end up using his place to change the slave cylinder. i'll just coast down the street. it's all downhill from my place.

The slave cylinder on my parts car was toast and i wouldnt of even tried to drive it, just push it down the street, its free and you wont damage anything even more.
