so i was wondering the other day, is it necessary to push in the clutch when you're shifting into neutral (like when stopping at a light)? i ALWAYS use the clutch when i do this, but couldnt decide if it's really necessary since the no syncros are being used like they would be when shifting into another gear

just curious... what do you guys think?

 

I don't think you can move the shifter from 1st to neutral without the clutch?

 

If u want to grind away your shifter..mess up the teeth on the fly-wheel and damage your clutch..go ahead..how long have u been driving a manual tranny..u should no better..the only way you can avoid problems with shifting without using your clutch is to right on the certain RPM number that is made for a down shift or up shift.
