That's OK. I don't use the gas pedal; I just set the idle super high and regulate speed by braking.

i've done it before but i don't make a habit of it. If you shift at the right time it doesn't hurt your synchros. A few years ago i went for a drive with my mechanic and he showed me when to shift. Its all about timing get it right and it will slid right in.

it does give the idiot grind if you're not careful....if you keep the revs over 2800ish, no problems

My mechanic say he does it all the time except the 1st gear when u keep it going. He doesn't do it all the time. He knows how to do it. It is all about timing. I wouldn't do it though. Everything is there for a purpose. Trying it once or twice wouldn't harm if u have a beater haha.
