Transmission ? - 7/1/2008 5:41:47 AM    bcrosby51   Posts: 17 Joined: 9/4/2007 Status: offline How bad is it to not use your clutch when shifting gears.  I don''t think it would be too bad when I do low speed upshifts, but what about when I cruising at 70 and give it a little gas and pop it down a couple speeds without using the clutch.  I am just asking to have tranny problems or are they built to take that?  Post #: 1

Clutchless up shifts are all good. But I wouldnt down shift clutchless. You will bend shift forks and its hard on the transmission. _____________________________ I don''''t ignore fear....
