Stranded 4 hours from home with broken clutch cable

You could try pushing it to an area that has a nice downwards hill. Stopping it with the car OFF....put it in 4th and start the car up. It may be tough on the starter, but if its a nice hill you should be ok....and assuming there arent any traffic lights....

My clutch cable came off about 2 minutes from my house....put it in 2nd with the car off and craked her up. Starter pulled the car just fine and I drove the car @ 3K to the house.
