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?

I just downshift and slowly let off the clutch..the car doesn't jerk or anything..I use that instead of brakes a lot. 


Just to let you know that wears down you clutch disk like no other. If you don't want to change your clutch every 25,000-30,000 miles I would suggest the match rev method


Yea. Or, better yet, just use your brakes. They are designed as wear parts to slow you down.

Yep brakes are cheaper than transmission's which would you rather replace. Any ASE Trans class will tell you downshifting is bad. Unless you got a race car (which i have yet to see from anyone here 3sgte included) drive it normally it will treat you better in the long run.
