Give it the push needed to fully engage, and there you go.

By upshifting, I take it you mean going from 2nd, to 3rd, to 4th, to 5th etc.

Upshifting is a bit trickier. It involves disengaging the current gear, revving the engine past where it needs to be for the next highest gear, then following the above mentioned step of allowing the engine to coast down to the correct rpms.

Don't you mean
downshifting is tricker without using the clutch?
