You can drive it without a clutch if you need to - Put it in second gear and then start the car. |

Yep, that's what I did once, but fuck it was a slow and painful drive home at 3am, got home at 7am. |

eh? you stayed in 2nd the whole way??? you can drve clutchless by matching the revs and shifting up, its not great on the gearbox but if it saves a few hours and you can cruise in 4th it;d be worth it =) i learnt to do it yearrrrrs ago and then it came in handy when i burnt the clutch out on the beach - using the last slither of clutch and gearing it without touching the pedal i reckon is what stopped my zuk becomming a submarine... hehe |

yer i drove it home matching revs with gears i got it home with new clutch in but how does the clutch lever sit on the spline as it came loos but can it just sit any where on the spline and should the cable adjustment have a bit of slack or should it be tight cheeers luke |

There should be about 10-15mm of free travel at the clutch fork |

But yeah, street racing is bad, mkay.

Had a mate of mine break a clutch cable while he was coming home from work, was using the revs to change the gears without using the clutch Halfway home he was pulled over by the police for a random breath test then he asked the police to push him so he could get going again, they were happy to oblige. |
