Exactly right Mike! I drove My YJ home 70 miles without a clutch. Same
idea as double clutching. Use the engine speed in neutral to get the
gears close to sync. For upshifting, let off on the gas to unload the
gear train, slide into neutral, and let off on the gas completely before
going into the next gear up. Downshifting is opposite where you rev the
engine in neutral. Put it into neutral when coming to a stop, shut the
engine down after stopping. Put it in first or second and start the
engine when it is time to go.

I did the same with a Toyota truck when the slave cylinder burst. My
trip was only about 45 miles, though.

The bottom line is simply understanding how the vehicle works.
