Driving without a clutch

Hello all,
I have solved the weird clutch problem, My 13,000 mile slave cylinder is leaking. My question is, I am 500 miles from home and do not want to fix it here. I am pretty good at shifting via "rpm matching" and it is interstate 99% of the way home. I want to drive my 89 9Ks home to fix. I know it is hard on the starter to start in first gear to take off, but I will only have to do this a few times, as I will only have to stop for gas once. The question is will I make it without damage to the auto? I will probably replace the 13,000 mile clutch anyway whenI have it apart.
Any insights are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Palmer
