i tried it once at about 4,000 rmps from 2-3, and from 3-4. But i'll never do it again cause its a lot more fun using the clutch and not worriing about blowin the syncs.

I have done it here and there in my S. Takes a little skill. Now in my 99Civ SI, different story. Once rolling I could drive and never touch the clutch, with no prob at all. Matching downshifts w/out clutch was a frig'n blast in that car, aproach corner, pop out of 4th, rev, drop into 2nd, and go. The S seems to have a much smaller 'window' at any given speed to match the sycros up.

I'm going to have a cut-away transmission in Sacramento the end of this month so you can see what is going on in the transmission.
Shifting without a clutch can be done, but if not done properly is not pretty. I have a few gears with the "dogs" sheared off, I'll bring one along w/the trans.
See you in Sacramento.

Woodwork;
It's nice to hear from you. Any information that helps us better understand the capabilities and limits of our wonderful car is greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that someone takes pictures and posts it for the rest of us to see.

"Nah....me and a couple of friends were talking about it last night. I let him drive my car and he taps the stick out of gear at the precise moment when coming to a stop without using the cluth."
As stated above, picking the right momentum as you just start decelerating makes it easy to slip car into neutral without using the clutch. Clutchess shifting, as mentioned, an entirely diferent animal.
I used to do some -clutchess shifting- in VW's (4 speed tranny, low revving engine) years ago, but as many have stated above, WHY would you do that in your S?????????????
