I've seen a friend do that with his escort and i thought it was magic. Im not sure how to do it really but i usually shift at 3k rpm. So it would just switch gears smoothly? As far as taking it outta gear without clutch i always use the clutch

put light pressure on the shifter when it is out of gear, at 3200-3700 and when it wants to go it'll just slip in. don't put ienough pressure to where it grinds just enough to find out what RPM it wants to g in at. BTW it is different for each gear. and is easier on the downshift.

BTW I would never do it on my own car, what reason do you have to put your synchros in jeopardy?

hahaha, it's funny when people think it's magic shifting without the clutch, I love the... huuurr whaaa did you do?. I've only done it up shifting, cause if I'm too lazy to step on the clutch, why make the extra effort to downshift when I could just step on the brakes.

ya, like bamboo said, just light pressure and it will go itself. if you know your tranny well enough you can do no clutch down shifting, it's fun as ----.

Maybe someone should try racing without using the clutch and see how well that works? ::)
