A friend is a mechanic and a racer. He says:
"Just go on doing clutchless upshifts - more work for me.
You can do it on the racetrack, but doing it in the street just needlesly damages gear teeth."
I still do it - 30k kilometres - still no problems with the gear shifter. Hope I haven't cursed myself. I only sometimes use clutch from 1st into 2nd. But not always.

Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
