Ive heard that there are certain points that you can shift your car (only a manual car) without pushing the clutch down. And it doesnt grind gears. My friend has doen this twice when his clutch went out. And I've heard that you can do this from more people.

To make a long story short. First the car needs to me moving (you would have to use the clutch or get going down hill)
If your shifting up, what you do is apply a little gas and a little pressure on the gearshift, as soon as the engine speed equals the car will come out of gear. Now you let the engine wine down while you put pressure on the gear shift again and as soon as it meshes up it will fall into the gear.
When down shifting you do the same but when you come out of the gear you will have to speed up the engine to get it to mesh. Sounds complicated and it is ALL done by feel, but once you do it you'll get the hang.

This can only be done with a Syncro-mesh type transmission to start with. Lucky for you, basically all automobiles made in the last 30 years or so, do. The trick to it is to learn the art of knowing when the gears are at synchronized rpms(both the gear you are in and the gear you want to shift to),then shifting between them is smooth, noiseless, and effortless. When you get it right it just clicks from one to the other. All big rig trucks are shifted this way. Some of these trucks have 15-18 gears(speeds) or more. can you imagine using a clutch for every gear? Your left leg would look like the trunk of an oak tree in about 6 months. Start learning by doing your 3rd to 4th gear shifts first. They are the easiest to do at first. When you wind third gear up to the point you would normally shift, ever so slightly ease up on the accelerator pedal(you will develop a "feel" for this that is called the "float point" and once you get it you will be able to do it easier and easier),taking the load off of 3rd gear and at the same time be putting some slight pulling pressure on the stick, and when the float point gets into sync, the shifter will begin to slide out of 3rd almost on it's own, very smoothly. Just pull it on down into 4th in one smooth sliding motion. Once you've mastered 3rd to 4th the rest will follow.

Running up to say 3000rpm in first gear, back off the throttle to take all load off the transmission and put the gearbox into neutral. Get the engine to about 2000rpm (assuming adjacent gears are in the ratio 3:2) and, with care, you should be able to engage 2nd gear with no clutch. Other gear changes are managed similarly. The engine must be turned off and the process repeated if you have to come to a halt. There will probably be a good deal of gears "grating" but with care, "feel" and lots of patience this can get you back to civilisation.

I can short shift my Tacoma (2001 model) with no problem. Just drive to about 1200 or 1500 rpm go to Neutral then slowly put pressure on next gear while barely bumping throttle, you will feel when they align and you can just shift into next gear. No really hard on tranny if you take it easy but certainly not good for it either.

i do no longer below stand what the question isn't to point the subject. Cable off or on? motorbike off or on? shifting with cable off or on? If the motorbike is off you do no longer want a grasp to go the gears around, and whilst your occurring the line you do no longer want a grasp to shift gears. grasp is for commencing up and sitting nonetheless together as the motorbike is on and in kit AKA stoplight. shifting together as making use of is frequently accomplished together as depressing the grasp, and could be, yet no longer needed. grasp is purely to eliminate the engine load from the transmission together as the engine is working. whilst it extremely is not working there is not any load on the transmission so shifting it around is attainable.

That is a good way of ruining your clutch and your transmission. There is only one car that I know of that can go from manual to automatic that is the BMW Mini Cooper and that has to be specially ordered. BMW cars are made to order no two. BMW cars are alike.

NEVER. You will cause irreparable damage to the transmission, and be out buying a new one within months. Why the heck would you want to do that anyway?
If you're looking for ways to improve your driving look up "heal and toe", and "double clutching."

Must match the engine RPM to the gear selected. It's easier with a diesel engine, as the RPM does not increase as fast & remains steady where ever you have the accelerator pedal.

Why ?? if the clutch is out have it towed to a shop or fix . You have to have experience to do this properly , you will end up frying the synchros . but if you have a reason here is a link
