Is it ok to take the car out of gear without using the clutch ?

 

Why would you want to?

No.

 

No it's not good. You CAN do it in first gear from a very slow roll, put it in and out without the clutch, but why would you even consider doing this to begin with?

 

I was just wondering because ive seen people do it and it didnt grind gears and when i go to put it in neutral i feel little to no resistence

 

if you rev match...its not gonna grid...

but 9 out of 10 times...i betcha grind.

 

synchro matching. It doesnt hurt anything as long as you are well aware of what you are doing. You can shift 2-5 without using the clutch, but why do it when there is a perfectly good clutch pedal

haha good point....

 

No im saying going from in gear to out of gear ...to neutral. Not downshifting which obviously is better when u rev match.

 

why do u want to in first place? it's not the best thing to do in the world

wont hurt a thing. Match the sychro and pull it out of gear. If you are in gear and speed up just a tad, then let off while putting some pressure on the shifter it will damn near fall out of gear.

 

i was just wondering.

if you do it without grinding, it's fine

 

you can pull it out of gear fine if there is no load on the motor either accelerating or decelerating.

If you put slight pressure on the stick out of gear and blip the gas it will fall out of gear. and it is completely fine to do.


So yes you can pull it out of gear with out using the clutch

 

Shifting without using the clutch!?!?!?

BRILLIANT!!!!!!

He didn't say shift which you can do without the clutch he said pull it out of gear. which is surprisingly easy to do. If per say you were lazy.

just because you dont have enough skills to shift w/o the clutch doesnt mean its bad for the car.

i do it all the time, its a matter of preference.

 

damn

look who woke up from hibernation.....

 

i do it sometimes

you can pull the gear out but you need to revmatch to shift into gear without clutching, or else you'll hear a pleasant grinding sound

that doesnt work

 

You could take it out of gear without clutching.

"If the car is OFF"

Even then, I wouldn't recommend it. Even when my car is Off, I clutch then change gear. You never know if a spring will pop.

There's a reason why a clutch is a Clutch.

Definition: Clutch = Disengage one gear so you can move to another.

The question is not dumb, if you keep shifting without clutch, that may be dumb.

 

If people are tired of shifting or pressing on the clutch pedal get an auto.
