i think its for lazy ppl that have a manual transmission. and also that if your doing it you should have a automatic trans instead.

If your synchros are in good enough condition to shift clutchless, they won't be for long.

My 2nd gear synchro is shot and my 3rd is on its way out and I can float the gears all day from 1st-5th. Of course starting out with the clutch and downshifting with the clutch. I just have to be right at 3200rpm and move quickly and precisely.
