How to shift without the clutch (clutchless shifting)

READ THE DESCRIPTION FIRST PLEASE. I am not responsible for anything that happens to your car if you try this. I actually do not recommend doing it but its nice to know.

Many people seem to be getting the wrong idea for this video. I am NOT telling you to not to use your clutch. This video is just to show how to shift without the clutch if the time comes when you need to use this. If your clutch goes out you might need to use this. This technique is potentially hazardous to your car. So if youre going to post a comment about how bad it is and just use the clutch, please dont post a comment. Some people want to know how to do it and that it is possible. I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO DO THIS OR TO NEGLECT YOUR CLUTCH. I KNOW HOW TO SHIFT WITHOUT THE CLUTCH, IT DOES NOT MEAN I DO THIS WITH EVERY SHIFT I DO. IN FACT I HAVENT DONE THIS SINCE I MADE THE VIDEO.

The car is a mini cooper S 2005 with the stock supercharger. Yes the audio is slightly off when i created the video but o well. The cameras i used were a vholdr contourHD 1080p for the rear camera, and 2 canon powershots for the tachometer and feet. This is kinda hard to learn and bad for your car when you mess up so practice at your own risk!

everyday I'm clutchlin'

[minkinnews]

whats the fucking point? just use the damn clutch, thats what its there for, this is just stupid

[JohnCmannen]

@xeridea Still, it's better than ruining you gearbox..

Not using the clutch will f up your transmission.

[xeridea]

@JohnCmannen Automatic manuals are lame. It gives newbs a feel of control, that doesn't even compare to that of a manual. Driving a manual is extremely easy. This is for if you just don't feel like using the clutch sometimes, or clutch is worn. Menumatic is just an automatic transmission that lets you select gears.... nothing high tech. Still wastes power with torque converter.  Semi-Automatic transmissions are better, they use clutch(es), so you don't get power loss and heat.

@axcel2001 You are the idiot. You can use it in any gear. 1st gear is a bit harder, but the rest are easy. You can also use it for downshifting, you just need to revmatch.

@minkinnews rev match changing is very helpful when your clutch suddenly goes pop on the motorway..trust me..my dad worked in the AA for years and he had to drive a car with no clutch for miles to get it to the garage for repair..what a pollava but would of been fucked otherwise!

MINI GEARBOX ARE CHEAPER THAN THE CLUTH DISC.

@minkinnews When my dad was a truck driver he got so good he didn't need to use the clutch expect when to start,those trucks also have 10 gears and you're driving 10-15 hours a day so that would be a lot of wear on the clutch that he didn't need,a clutch for an 18 wheeler is not cheap so he just didn't use it meaning he didn't have to replace it.

i did it when i 12 years old
