Lately i have been hearing about being able to shift gears with out using the clutch, there is a certin rpm or somethin u can do it at. when i first heard this, i said bull**** and didn't think about it, but i've heard 2-3 more people mention this, anyone heard anything about it, is it possible with our cars?

at a certain rpm range the shift gates open up. To shift with out the clutch just accelerate as normal after about 3500 (my celica) release the gas but keep about 10% on the gas. and move the stick from one gear to the other. my dad does this with no problem. When he was teaching me how to drive a stick he would do this on my car with no problem. funny story is he was doing it while toying with a 7th gen
 on a small curvy road he would go from 2nd to 5th with no clutch and then slow it down there was no grinding or cracking heard. just smooth shifting. basically if done correctly it improves shifting between gears but it takes a lot of practice (and trannys)
