Bada bing, there you go. I learned manuals on truck style non synchro boxes where being able to do this was a necessity. If the shifter slides with no issues it means the synchros aren't doing very much to alter gear speed.
After they synchro go bad you either have to do this or pull and rebuild it anyways.
