One time, in a pinch, I jumped in my old 78 Four Speed
and hit the road. 

The clutch was found to be non-op so I crash boxed* it
onto the freeway, only later after things had warmed
up and vibrated, etc did the thing loosen up and the
drive home was normal & uneventful.

Of course NOWadays I recondition everything, but back
them it was a bit a of a jam to get out of and the Roc
was unprepared in advance. 

Funny you should mention this as a I stubbed my toe
yesterday on a center plate for a 5speed.
