when I used to be into RSX's before, I remember coming across a media thread that had a video with clutchless shifting

out of nowhere, I asked my friend about clutchless shifting.. he told me, it kinda takes practice and its less wear-out for your clutch
and stuff.. now that Ive heard the positive things about it, I was wondering if there were bad things about it...

if theres like 2 things that are bad about clutchless shifting, then I wont trip about it.. but if it comes to more than 3+up
then Ima have to break the habit of it..

so 6gc fam, what would it be?? YE -or- NAY on clutchless shifting

(I'd rather not base this on polls because I like my information straight to the facts)
