Re: Anyone shift without the clutch?? Yeah, all the time. I rebuild my tranmission every other weekend. I can do it blindfolded now.
No. I don't and DO NOT suggest that you do it. It is possible if you double clutch and RPM match engine and tranny input, but why? It creates more wear and while you're trying to find the proper RPM to do it you'll strip your drive gears. I repeat. . .DO NOT DO IT.

Re: Anyone shift without the clutch?? You can do it if your too lazy to lift your left foot to the clutch <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> Just pop it out of gear when you lift off the gas, when it drops a couple hundred RPM, will slide into the next gear. May be hard on syncros tho. I am only talking about part throttle driving never at WOT. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Re: Anyone shift without the clutch?? I have seen people with mustangs do it ALL the time racing at the track. I have never seen anyone shift an f-body w/out a clutch but I have a buddy that shifts w/out taking his foot off the gas. I am working on it but I don't have anything to practice with.
