i can switch gears without using my clutch, if i pull on the shifter to the next gear give it gas let the rpms get to 3,000rpm then soon as it starts to drop it will slip in, i can do it every gear except 3rd cuzz i got a 3rd gear grind. This normal it never used to do it?

 

I would also like to know. Also, i can pull my gear OUT at low RPM without clutching.

 

lol

Dude you can pull any stick out of gear without the cluch, its a safety thing. And its called rpm matching the gears, you can do that with most cars if you do it right.

 

they call it speed shifting. At the right rpm u can shift through any gear. It will pop out too w/o the clutch like he said.

 

I think the real question is why do you have a y8 tranny is your SI?

Oh hahah didn't realize he was from canada

 

Perfectly normal.. Can be done with all stick shift cars.. I have a class A license and the only gear we use the clutch for is 1st or 2nd depending on how big a load you are carrying.. It does wear on your synchros though...
