synchronizers.
Inside the transmission are brass rings called synchronizers that are meant to make the shifting collars mesh with the gear properly, without a clutch you transfer that same pressure to these rings - since they are brass and intentionally soft they normally break very fast if you are using lots of power during your speed shifts (what clutch-less shifting is called). While you are lowering the 'wear' on your clutch, you are putting it onto components that are NOT made for that kind of wear - are three times as costly both in labor and parts - and it is not worth it unless you can rebuild your own transmission, weekly.
In our roundy-round cars, when we did run standards, we had to replace these every weekend from this type of shifting.
Our drag cars would normally trash a set every race.
(this was in the old M-21's - by the end of the first season I could rebuild a 4 speed on the bench in less than 20 minutes)
The info below gives you an ideal - it is for a 4 speed muncie but it is all the same design (no matter how modern it is)

Actually you Will not wear out the clutch or related components if you never use them. Clutch wear happens only when clutch is applied, never when it is engaged. However, the clutch disengages the engine from the transmission to make shifting easier. Transmission components will suffer from power shifting a manual transmission. The most likely candidates are the synchronizer rings followed by the gears. If either of these components are damaged, the cost of repair will be drastically more than a clutch replacement. Use the clutch while shifting then remove your foot from the pedal when not shifting (IE idling). Remember that clutch wear is caused by your foot touching the clutch pedal, so clutch, shift, remove foot from pedal.

If you are THAT good, and THAT in tune with your vehicle,in an almost Zen-like melding, yes, you can shift without using your clutch. It takes a lot of experience, and a lot of transmissions.
I wish I was a Transmission Tech.........I would LOVE your business. I could retire early, and spend my whole time answering questions such as these.

its called powershifting, at a certain RPM you can shift and the gears will change like there suppose to, but you have to do it by feel, not by the gauges cause every car is differentand. If u do it right, it really doesnt hurt the car, but if i screw up its gunna mess the gears up bad

If you know what you are doing it is possible to shift not using the clutch, but i do not recommend it, it's really rough on the gears if you miss and scrape the gears together.

your transmission. use the damn clutch!!! was designed for a reason. is cheaper to replace clutch than tranny parts. the clutch by the way is always under friction so it is always being worn out
