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

    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.

    Learning everyday.

    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.

    shi*s old my dad showed me when i was 14yr's old in a 96 ranger its all about letting the rpm drop and at the right rpm the gear just slides right in.
    I check sluts off my list like a maintnence man
    I drive a low is3 just so it gives me a reason to drive super slow on these rough ga roads.
