I saw a guy do this on his Jetta and he said that you don't need to use the clutch as long as your speed is matched properly with the gear.
Nothing bad happened when he did it, but how is this possible ?On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?yes you can do it ,its called speed shifting but its hard on a transmission if you don't know how to match the rpm,s up with the speed,you can easily loose a gear doing this,we use to do it in the old mopars and Chevy's when we was drag racing,it takes time to learn this though,other wise ,its bye bye transmission,be careful if you try this,good luck.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?yes....
he already told you.....On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?ground speed and match rpm's i drive a semi truck and its how i shift all 13 gears on a car with a syncro mesh trans its easier and no damage until you grind them.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?SURE, TRUCK DRIVERS HARDLY EVER USE THE CLUTCH. MATCH ENGINE RPM TO DRIVE SHAFT SPEED AND IT'LL FALL RIGHT INTO GEAR.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?yeah he explained it very well.. bikes are the same way. when you have a car for so long you learn where thos points are by feel. you still it to use the clutch to take offOn a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?It is possible, as you have seen.
You will damage the syncro rings if you are not right on with your speeds.
It is much better on the transmission to use the clutch.
Your transmission will thank you.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?yes u can but it will damage your transmissionOn a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?Yup....I've done itOn a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?YES YOU CAN!! My husband does it all the time!! You just gotta match the RPMs just right or it won't work!!On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?When you use the clutch it allows the transmission gears to slow down enough to engage the next gear. When you shift with out the clutch you need to attempt to match the engine speed with the transmission gear you intend to go into. The part inside the transmission called the synchronizer will assist but can not do it with out closely matching speeds. You have to be in motion to do this and some cars are easier than others to shift this way. If you want to shift down like 4th to 3rd, you would ease off the gas, pull it out of 4th, tap the gas pedal to bring rpms up a bit and slide shifter into 3rd.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?He reached the optimum engine speed for that particular gear.
Each gear change is based on the engine speed (so my dad told me) and it involves listening to the engine whine too. What the clutch apparently does is sort of bypass the needed speed, so it doesn't matter what the speed is. I'm sure there are mechanics around here can explain it properly, but you can do it. If you want to try it, listen to the engine noise, while GENTLY pushing on the gear shift (not enough to force it, but enough to release it should it hit the magic speed) You'll find your gear shift will slip into neutral and if you give it a little more pressure you can slip it into the next gear. I'm sure there's a technical term for it, but I haven't a clue what it is.On a manual transmission, can you shift gears without using the clutch?Yes, it not that hard to do and it doen't hurt the trans. You can feel it in the shifter when the gears are lined up. It will be easy to put into gear when they are aligned. If they aren't aligned, the shifter won't go into gear unless you force it.
You just need to get used to the car and you can do it. It's even easier with a motorcycle.
