Warning!! Dangerous design flaw in the 2006 Jeep Wranglers
You need to learn how the vehicle works by the sounds of it.... I have broken my clutch linkage on many occasions over the years and even have been around a couple TJ's when their clutch up and died. In 'all' these cases, we were able to dive home or at least able to starter walk the vehicle out of the intersection! Actually the last TJ owner that phoned me with a dead clutch in the middle of an intersection made it out of the way and all the way home on the starter just fine.... On the older manual TJ's all you have to do is put a fuse in the 'auto' fuse slot to allow the engine to start with the clutch pedal up or to start in gear on purpose. This is for times when you are 'say' flooded out on a creek crossing. You can just hit the starter with the engine in 2nd gear and 'walk' the Jeep or even my old Volvo up out of the creek. LOL, been there... If you 'just' have busted linkage or loss of hydraulic fluid, then you can 'easily' start the vehicle by just pushing down on the clutch pedal while having the shifter in 2nd or 3rd, hit the starter and away you go. The interlock switch is at the top of the clutch pedal. It can just be jumpered too... It is a bear to shift without a clutch, but 'very' possible with a firm hand or starting in 3rd will limp you home at an easy 30 mph anyway or get you to a shop. My $0.02....
