Yes. I had to do that when my clutch went out so I could get home....had to sweat out approaching red lights though...HA
Happened to me when I was Dating my Wife way back when.
I had a 1970, maybe 1972 (getting old) Porsche 911. We were in Hollywood and when we were on our way back the Clutch Cable broke.
Luckily it was about 1:AM and traffic was light. Drove it about 20 Miles and timed all the Lights, although I may have cheated a couple of times to keep the momentum going.
