If the slave fails then you won`t be able to engage gears and your foot will go to the floor without much resistence, I had one fail on my Senator but it was gradual, I managed to get from Catterick garrison to Leeds before it went completely.

You can - you just have to match engine revs to gear/road speed and it'll slot in nicely - Oh and be prepared to start the car with it in gear. Difficult to do in traffic, and traffic lights/roundabouts/T junctions are a PITA but it is do-able. Once had to drive from Boscombe Down to Yeovil (50 miles) like that due to hydraulic pipe failure.

The Omega responds well to clutchless shifting,  but getting the revs right with an electronic throttle takes some practice... timing has to be impeccable :D
