As a first model year YJ owner, I have driven home many times on a
leaked-out clutch slave cyl. I keep a bottle of dot-3 in the space
under the master cyls for that exact reason. Glad I did not have to
mess with a interlock switch.

Shifting without a clutch is pretty easy as long as you pay attention
to your RPMs and know where the sweet spot to shift is. Starting it
in gear is the PITA. Glad the starters were so easy to replace.

Uh, the Director yelled, "CUT!!" and the Weapons Wrangler reloaded all
the guns for the actors so they would not chip a nail trying to figure
out which end of the round went in first?
Their are exeptions, tho. I know that the actors who played main parts
in Saving Private Ryan got their asses kicked from hell to breakfast by
a USMC Capt. named Dale Dye and they did know how to shoot, reload, and
clean their blank guns... And after someone fired 8 rounds out of a
garand, you heard the feed-me clang.
(At least I said "Wrangler" and WW2 was full of Jeeps...)
