I tried doing it again from 6->5->4->3->2->1, and it worked every time. It also worked for upshifts.
What's going on, Veeky Forums? I know all about revmatching and whatnot, but since when could you upshift (with the exception of neutral -> 1st gear) and downshift WITHOUT the clutch AND it be smooth?

gittin gud usually does that

Congrats. You learned how to shift like a truck driver. We do it every day. The clutch is only used to stop, or start from a stop.

Why the fuck would you panic when accidentally shifting into neutral?
This is not the time to fear, that comes later when you do a hard pull and accidentally shift from 4th into 1st.

It's actually pretty fun. Is there any downsides to shifting like this regularly on a small car? I drive a ND
Jacob Taylor
I did the whole clutchless shifting thing for a while in my 4cyl shitbox, i think it's the reason my 5th gear synchro is fucked
John Collins
You have to be spot on to avoid wear.
If you don't fucking know what you're doing, you'll fuck up things in the long run. If you're good, you might do no damage but I think it would be far fetched to say you'd get some extra life out of your clutch.

It was on a steep, empty decline. I knocked the shifter out of gear getting a water bottle from my friend in the passenger with my arm. It was really dumb on my part
Oliver Johnson
I did this on my motorbike once. Apparently most bikes are designed to upshift without the clutch and no one told me.
