 Smooth progress through the gears. - Herr Sandwichmann
I've never attempted to do clutchless gear changes and never would - sounds like a recipe for a very large repair bill down the line. Fellow posters who do - do you keep your cars for long? Not a flippant question - I'm curious as to whether regular clutchless changes damage the gearbox.

I used to be young, now 41, and I've always tried to change gear as smoothly as possible at 2000 - 2250rpm (diesel engine).
