never tried it, its not too hard to push the clutch. my cmc did go out the other week, knowing this would have helped get it home
I fall in the middle. I almost always take the car out of gear without clutching and clutch to put it back in. I've been driving like that so long it's practically ingrained. Doesn't get me anything but feels better for some reason...

it feels better because this technique is essentially the same as double clutching. I also occasionally shift like this.
Jetjock exactly how I drive 90 percne t of the time.
Subarus are pretty easy to shift no cluctch in.
I did it for a month in my old saab 900 turbo when the master cylinder broke(times were a little rougher back then)

I tryed this today just for spite ive never done it in my life tho.
Its pretty hard to do, I dunno if my trans is old or what but i could do it 3rd-4th but nowhere else it mighta been just me never doing it in my life before today too.
its pretty cool when it does work tho it kinda sucks the shifter into gear.

The only time that I have done this is at our May meet in DFW and I welded my clutch disc to my flywheel at the track. So On the way home I had to rev match and shift, it's about 40 miles home from the track but mostly highway. I push the clutch in all the time though, not wanting to screw up another tranny.
