I'm at my parents' house this week...broke #10/12 (the part that the clutch pedal spring sits on). I pulled the whole assembly out of the car, and it's still driveable, but is there any reason I shouldn't make my 350 mile journey back home in a few days? I don't think I can source the parts before I leave :/

I've driven 20ish miles as it is and it doesn't feel bad, just not as stiff when you first engage the clutch:

I'd do it. If it works that's good enough to get you home.

the only thing that spring does is bring the pedal back up to the correct height. it has nothing to do with the actual function of the clutch. go ahead and drive.
