So my CSC just went out when I pulled in to work, pedal sank to the floor and didn't come back. I'm totally comfortable replacing the CSC and probably a new clutch in my driveway, but is there any quick fix so I can get it home without paying for a tow? It's about 15 miles from my house

You can try to bleed it and see what happens.

Just forced it back up. I read that this (sometimes) will let you drive it until you replaced it asap. Also how many miles do you currently have?

I was thinking maybe tying a rope on the clutch pedal, that way you can pull it back into position between shifts

Just try pumping the pedal a few times to hopefully build up some pressure. Check your reservoir to see if you still have fluid.
