The car ran fine if I bump started it and since I had a DE that weekend and was out of time to do another engine drop I drove it at the DE that way. It is quite embarrasing to ask for help pushing your car at Summit Point so it will start 'cause you goofed the clutch job.

I did almost the EXACT same thing on the first car I ever really worked on - my 83 Honda Civic. Dropped the tranny to replace the clutch in a blistering fast 14 hours (no lie). I was 17 and working alone, so cut me a little slack. Anyway, I did the push start thing home and back to the Navy base (where I was doing the work) the next day where I dropped the transmission, replaced the flywheel and put the tranny back in in less than 2 hours. I sure learned a lot, that's for sure.
