Default Towing a lowered car

as we all have.... my car is very low. about a soda can or whatever.

clutch doesnt engage and car doesnt move. I changed the slave cylinder..n that didnt work.

i need to bring my car to get the clutch swapped.. but since it dont move.. i need to get it towed. Dads freind brought his flat bed.. and that was out of the question. Front would get fuked up and then the exhaust would scrap gettin it off.

what the hell shoudl i do??? dont have time to drop a tranny. Anyone in the south jersey area want to make some money and swap it for me. You would have to come to my house. I got beer and food. And will pay you. HAHA. let me know! desperate

take the front bumper off and use a couple of 2x4 on the ramp to keep it from denting up anything. or if you have some steelies with 225/50/14 thick wall you can do that

when i towed my civic the tow truck driver did it really slowly and adjusted the bed angle while pulling it up. we also rolled the wheels over 2x6's to the muffler wouldn't scrape and we had about 1" clearance for the front bumper, i was prepared to pull the front up to get it on. we did the same thing with a crx that had no springs in it, just sitting on the shocks.
