In my Rover 416i, my clutch cable broke TWICE... and the first time, I had to drive it for 3 days with no clutch...... I was a MASTER... just couldn't get into into 5th, was afraid it might cause the box to fall out....
How did you get it into first if at standstill ? :|
you let the car roll to a top in neutral and turn the engine off. you then pu tit in 1st and crank da engine to get going. I know its not the best thing for you starter but it will get you out of a jam.

If your car is f*cked, the starter motor is enough to get you up a curb and off the road in most cases.
a quick change using the clutch can be done in less than a second anyways, and so i don't see how flat shifting manages to stop the revs dropping more than a normal fast change......, unless you are taking so long with the clutch in that the revs drop past what they will be at when the gears engage.
i thought the car will have to be at a certain rpm for a certain road speed?
