[quote=billb]shifting without the clutch isn't used much either but it sure can be fun to do
Routine in big trucks except when in the lowest couple of gears.
Why/ what's the benefit? left leg wear and tear
Yup.
One big downside in some places, it can get you fired. Place I worked driving buses had a policy against shifting without using the clutch, they fired a couple drivers over their violation of the policy. I know we weren't the only place around with that policy.
