i can change gear easily without using the clutch, just use the throttle to get the gears spinning the same rather then rely on the synchro

no clutch when done right is a quicker shift then a double clutch savingvital seconds on rally stages...

You just change up at the right time, and blip the throttle on the down shift.

You only really need to use your clutch pedal to pull away Kurt.
