You will be right, I've had a few clutch's go and never had a problem getting home, a bit of free reving hear and there on hills, other than that it was fine.
One time when I first had my 4:1's my clutch went, drove around for 3 weeks and then drove sydney to melbourne to see Chris on that clutch.
Only thing you need to worry about is if you have the coin to replace it.

Agreed 3.45 to low for ZF.
