I wouldn't bother trying it, just to save the life of the tranny by not grinding gears trying to learn.

The idea is to apply throttle so that as you slide the shifter out of gear, the rpms stay where they are, and then lower the rpms to the appropriate speed to engage the next gear. seems simple, but its only useful if your clutch ever takes a crap.
Hmm..that's cool..now since our car rev match on downshift would it not be easy to shift down w/o the clutch as long as you have the right rpm to get it out of gear?
