It's also called "floating" through the gears, not all that great for the synchros!!

it destroys ur syncros any car can do it shift between 2500 and 3000(in a honda) rpm and this is old as hell for anyone just learning about this.

Clutchless shifting is old as hail, but Im sure you can master it without having any effects on your syncros. I've gotten pretty good.

the new cobalt ss turbo is recommended from the factory to do it. "no-lift-shift" is also covered under chevy's warranty.

That's different though. Your still having to depress the clutch to shift.

I drove my first RX-7 for 6 months with no clutch. Got so good I could upshift, down shift, anything I needed to do. Got the money together, put a clutch in it and never had a single problem out of the tranny.

It only destroys your syncros if you can't find the gears and short grind going into gear everytime. If you learn your RPM points, you won't destroy a thing. If i'm lazy, I do it in my boosted 4Runner sometimes. The look on folks face when my foot is on the dash and i'm going through gears is priceless.
