Gear out without clutching

[werks]

hi guys,
so basically by mistake,
i was crusing at 4th gear in my ek1,
and knocked the gear stick up by accident.
it poped outta 4th with little resistance.
so i tried again in both 3rd and 4th, same effect, but not game enough to do it to 1st or 2nd.
i was jsut wondering if this is normal or is my gearbox fkin up?

[vinnY]

nope it's normal with no throttle

try again while giving it some throttle, you won't be able to knock it out again with the same amount of force :)

o ok thanks man.

also, 1st gear makes a whirling noise when im about 30+ km/h even when i have clutched in. sign of an old gearbox? =S

yehit's called clutchless shifting. You can get it into higher gears too if u can get the timing and the revs right.

the sound might be ur synchros going funny

i see...

no chance im try clutchless shifting.
makes me cry when i hear the crunching gear sound. lol.

I love clutchless shifting, it's fun! I remember my first car (N13 Pulsar Q, great little thing), the clutch cable snapped and it was about two weeks before I could afford to get it fixed, I just drove it regardless. No clutch? No worries. It's when you got no brakes that's the big problem. :D

haha.
clutchless shifting, is it bad for the box?

[curtis265]

if you do it perfectly, it's fine... I'm not taking that chance though!

I was doing some this morning, just for the fun of it. :D

it is terrible for your gearbox

[Troy]

it is terrible for your gearboxHow so? Obviously if you suck and keep missing/crunching sure, but if you get the revs right it pops in nicely...

thats exactly what i mean, if you suck :zip:
2 someone at a skill level like you troy it pops in perfect...
people don't know how to drive

Anyway, there's no need to do it... unless you got a dog box mwuahahahaha!!!!
