No using no clutch is called dumb. Shifting without taking your foot off the gas is called powershifting. IMO, fastest way to get rid of your transmission.

Power shifting seems risky to me....I've only done it twice in my car.

RE: Shifting trick
... how can you powershift without using the clutch [&:]
anyways, I've ben powershifting my car since it had 500 miles... that was 55000 miles ago, still have the stock clutch - have had probably 50 runs with stock tires, 200 runs on Nitto's, and 20 passes on slicks... that doesnt count the probably thousand powershifts on the street.
My clutch still holds, and my tranny shifts like butter.
