Clutch gone or failed — recovery help

Common questions
Useful answers.
Can I drive with a slipping clutch?+
A mildly slipping clutch can deteriorate rapidly. If drive is unreliable, gear selection is difficult or there is a strong burning smell, stop somewhere safe rather than risk losing drive completely.
Can a clutch-failure car be recovered normally?+
Often, but dispatch still needs to know whether the car rolls, steers and has free-moving wheels so suitable loading can be confirmed.
Where can you take it?+
Give dispatch your preferred garage, home or other suitable destination so the journey can be included in the quote.
