I'm almost embarrassed to admit it... But I just haven't been able to figure out how to do it - that is, get into gear without the clutch... I know it involves matching tranny speed to engine speed - but I'm either missing something, or just haven't figured it out yet.

But I too don't use the clutch to come out of gear Saves a bunch of footwork for P&G :P

That said, cartalk had a funny analogy/pun about shifting without a clutch... It's like catching a softball with your mouth - it's possible, but you're more likely to break a few teeth in the process
