2005 cayenne manual w/o clutch drivable?

[wwdwgs]

Hi, everyone.
I'm thinking about purchasing 2005 V6 Cayenne (180K mi) with slave clutch cylinder problem (whatever it is).
Officially the car in this condition is not drivable.
But... can I still drive it without clutch as the other (older) cars - start with starter and shift as revs go up/down?
Assumed distance to drive is 50 miles.
Thanks in advance.

wwdwgs,
This is an interesting question. I have read about shifting without clutch in a few places. I have never tried it.
If the distance you need to take the vehicle to is 50 miles, I would have it towed. It may not be cheap but it will be way cheaper than causing damage to the gearbox and then having to tow it to get a new gearbox.
I have an old 944, I found out the hard way a few times trying to save a buck ends up costing me way more.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck with your Cayenne.

are the 50 miles highway? - i'm not sure if you can synchro drive a cayenne - i don't see why you couldn't unless porsche put in some sort of electronics to prevent it - if you can, and they are highway miles, once you get into higher gears you should be able to just cruise - or you could try filling the reservoir to the top and seeing how bad the slave or line is leaking - maybe get enough shifts out of it to get it home - the clutch might share fluid with the brakes - so it would be that reservoir
