How fast can I safely go in second gear?

Cheapest option is to diagnose and fix the problem at home. Towing eliminated and full driveability gained. Get a more knowledgeable friend to help.

If your clutch pedal is to the floor, check your clutch hydraulic system for externals leaks or internal component leaks. Get a service manual.

I have a service manual and I will fix it at home. I need to get it home though.

Can't shift because the clutch pedal is all the way to the floor and I can't get pressure. I'm 30 miles from work so a tow truck is (cheapest) $300.

dude get AAA for 40 bucks. and have them tow it for freee

duhh

To start off from a stop, you'll most likely have to bypass the clutch saftey switch so you can start the car with it in 1st gear, once you are ROLLING you'll then be able to shift with rev-matching. When your about to shift up, gently let off the gas and pull out of gear at the same time and quickly put a fair amount of pressure on the stick trying to get into the next gear. The engine RPMs will fall, and when they get to the right point, it should slide right into the next gear. It will be a bit abrupt, but there should be minumal grinding.
Down shifting is harder, but hopefully you won't have to or will just be rolling to a stop and then just starting off again with the car in first and cranking the engine. You can try just reving the engine higher than you think is nessecary, let off the gas, and then try to get it into gear as the RPMs fall, and it should slide right in.

I did a ten minute drive through city and highway with my old Prelude this way.
YOU CAN DO IT! :TU:

Oh, and x100 on AAA
If you get AAA, I believe after the first year you can get AAA plus, which I would also highly suggest.
