Just got this car. I used to be a truck driver and I am used to clutching only for 1st. Anyone know if there are any issues with no clutch shifting? Seems to slide right into 2nd on up with no problem. Trying to save the new clutch a bit.

Thanks

I would think that it would be pretty tough on the synchros. I'd prefer to swap the clutch.

100 times rather put a clutch in than damage Transmission shifting clutchless. Even though it is fun to do sometimes you have to fight the urge

Yeah, it's not a dogbox. Clutch required.

Transmission failure. That's about it.

i here ya, i was the same way when i got my first gt stick. I ran the gears all the time w/ the trucks and it only seemed natural. I'm sure it's hard on tranny, but i can get it done, you have to wait so long for the reves to die down and you have to hold into the next gear you are going to. You can feel the window and pop it in, the windows is very small however. Also if it's new everything is tight and i'd say get 5000 miles on before you expect much luck.

This might be one of the more retarded things I've heard here in a while. Why do you think they put a clutch in there in the first place, for show?

Not sure why they put it in, but I put it in for your Mom all the time
