clutchless shifting??
I don't know if the car is suppose to do this but my car can shift out of gear easily without the clutch...my friend said that this is normal but it didn't do that before. Is this really normal??

Rep Power: 0 when i say parked, i mean when the engine is NOT on. the clutch is your friend. use it since you have one on your car, unless u wanna hear some major gear grinding. that sound gives me chills[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 you can take it out of gear while moving as long as you go to neutral.....as for shifting without the clutch from gear to gear....you can but its hard, take a look at NASCAR they do it all the time you just have to match the acceleration with the trani and keep the right RPMS

Rep Power: 0 when u can get the transmission and the egine in perfect timing u can shift without using ur clutch
it is very normal I some times do that but becarful cause with out the perfect timing u WILL grind
and when u can get doin this good try downshifting with out a clutch
u have to hit the gas pedal while ur in neutral and let the rpm's rise and fall then it will pop in to a lower gear

Rep Power: 0 you can always pull your car out of gear w/o the clutch. and it isnt bad as long as you aren't giving it gas...in that case, the engine will just return to idle while you coast. if you do give it gas, the engine will rev obviously

Rep Power: 0 << I've been driving like that for years in all of my cars, it shouldn't do any harm. The hard part is downshifting without using the clutch. >>
