I thought to myself "what would dave do?" then I realized "holy fuck! Im dave, and Id burn that shit to the ground".

so how bad am i fucking up my 221,000 KM trans

i dont use the clutch to up shift. i pull it out of gear, put it lightly into the next gear but it doesnt pop in until the magic RPM, no grinding or aweful noises

Clutchless shifting, don't do it. If you're being serious, you're a fucking moron for doing it that often. Once in a while I'll do it just for kicks but that's fucking dumb to do it all the time.

Why ever do clutchless shifting?

jesus i didnt say i ran over fucking children. its a $1k car, i could give a shit as long as it runs until 2014.

i dont do it all the time. i do put it nuetral w/o the clutch more often though

my legs hurt from working out. my trans is picky as fuck and the timing from 1-2 has to be exact other wise there is annoying lurching. because racecar

That's some fucking bullshit excuse. Get an automatic.

thats cool

You'd rather damage the trans and it's syncros instead of hurting your leg?

Lolwtf

You're going to have a shit ton of issues when your synchros blow (which sounds like they're having a blast 1st to 2nd already). Even with my blown 5th synchro shit is a pain, can't imagine what a bitch it'd be for the primary gears.

i get lazy, go fuck yourself

coulda said that in the first place. i was looking for a quick simple answer. i thought it was power shifting but that was wrong

[jasonklee]

from all the rage in here, i thought it was friday

Might as well start early.

Lol at people seriously thinking that they can have a unique car, as soon as someone else sees it (IF, big if, it was original in the first place) someone else will be doing it

lol

wut

lolwut. You are?

Just got fired from my job for being sick, I think the phrase FML can now be used appropriately.

Was going thru a "flare" with the shit that I have. I told my boss 3 weeks ago that some days were more painful than others and I might need a day or two off.

He said that was fine and he would work with me. Have a Dr. appointment Wed. to get ish figured out. Boss calls today and lets me go, no warning or anything.

Lame.

burn the building down?

Who took my stapler?

In theory (and this is in theory, mind you), if there's NO load on the drivetrain when you move the stick from a gear gate into neutral, then you've worn the gears only minimally more than normal.

Going INTO gear is a different story. Knowing the rev versus vehicle speed correlation is important in a non-synchro transmission, or a transmission where you want to preserve synchro life. Otherwise, you'll just wear and grind your gears doing this.

HOWEVER, if your clutch pedal fails and you must absolutely drive the car, this is the way to do it. Car & Driver did an article on this exact thing a few months ago.

We obviously do not recommend this, but it's doable. Kinda like Kielan -- not recommended, but doable in a pinch

thanks.
like i said, i dont grind em. i put a small ammount of pressure until it pops in. i wasnt thinking that clutch-less shifting was the greatest for the trans but i dont know enough about a trans to give a correct reason why i could or couldnt be harmful. so if i didnt hear grinding i thought everything was coo

Exactly. So you should be fine, just a bit more wear than if you used a clutch pedal, that's about it. Especially if you're careful.
