[QUOTE="Andrewaust, post: 84466, member: 936"] If you want to stuff a car/suv/truck manual synchromesh gearbox, shift without a clutch, even truck drivers found after going from road ranger crash boxes to synchromesh transmissions, they had expensive bills shifting without the clutch. Once the synchro's go it is nearly impossible to shift gears properly. Motorcycles "well most" have constant mesh transmissions which allows shifts without the clutch, its an interesting subject if you have some time to browse the net. So my advice, synchro boxes, use the clutch, crash boxes and motorcycle constant mesh boxes, not using the clutch is OK, but can cause the dog "some say dog clutches" to wear sometimes in motorcycle constant mesh boxes causing the gearbox to jump out of gear or bend gear selector fork.
