Re: Link to my video showing shifting without a clutch
I few years ago, the clutch went out on my '88 car with 5 speed, on the way home from work. Slave cylinder blew out. No big deal, just put it in first, crank the starter over and it would fire up, just a little jumpy. Fortunately the rest of the way was rural road and I could roll through most stop signs. You wouldn't believe how many people told me it couldn't be done.
Most new vehicles have a clutch interlock that won't engage the starter if the clutch is not depressed. A safety feature. Our 2004 Jeep Ruicon has a fuse you can pull to bypass the interlock for off roading.
