Hah!! Reminds me of my little brothers Honda Civic years ago. He had lost the clutch cable on it and needed to get it home. It was maybe 5 miles from there. So the task left to me ( the mechanic / fixit guy of the family ), I put it in first and started it at any red light. After that it was just a matter of gently letting the synchros do their job. That and trying to time all the street lights. Ah! The fun stuff I used to do!
