well i have heard people telling me they sometimes will shift their trucks without the clutch.. this is done with the foot off of the gas, and as long as ur rpms are steady, and your not accelerating/slowing down it will slide right in. ??? what do you guys think. I'm not going to do this but just thought id start a little conversation and see what you think.

Havent tried it before. I guess im too afraid to hurt her . Even if I do the quarter mile, I want to know what I`d do when I shift.

i kno u can slide it out and into neutral when in like third and 4th i do in my car (not alot at all) but i doubt u can do it trying to put it into gear

yes it can be done but it's a very small window..I do it in my truck 26ft....but if you have a t-5 and miss call your fav tow truck

Yeah. You have to wait till the engine speed and tranny speed are exactly the same and the synchros are aligned and it will slip right in without the clutch. I wouldnt do it for racing though.

Ive done it before just to mess around. I dont have any practical use for doing it. Say, your in 3rd gear and going 30mph at 3000rpms. So if your in neutral, rolling along at 30mph, you can rev up to 3000rpms and hold it there and then just slip it into 3rd gear with out clutching.

You can put the car into neutral at any time without the clutch...
Shifting through any gear without using the clutch can cause GEAR damage...
Gears are almost never damaged in a transmission and can last beyond the life of a car if the clutch is used properly..

If we didint need the clutch, it wouldent be in the car..
This is what automatic trannys are for..
