Quote:Don't you think however smooth and used to it you are changing without the clutch puts wear on some parts of the box? I would have thought just fanning the lever and dropping the revs a gnats' would be a far kinder way of going up the box,then again if you've had no problems doing it fair enough,I personally do it if I'm going for it through the gears but not as a constant thing,only my opinion .It’s how I’ve been doing it 25 years or more. I can’t see how it can do any harm. I also often go down the box without the clutch at low speed.
I do wonder however, if gearbox issues will become more common now that we are in the age of the quick shifter. The two I have tried were crude compared to an old-fashioned clutch-less change. I just don’t get what all the fuss is about quickshifters.
