Have you guys try upshifting without the clutch? Assuming that the RPM match, will there be damaged? Thanks!

Upshift without clutch

I've done it several times with my daily driver. (Just to play around.) I don't think damage has been done. Still on original clutch and I have almost 182,000 HARD miles on it.
If you shift at the exact moment the RPM's match, there is no damage, actualy, i think there is less wear then when you use the clutch, but i don't think you can do that (match 100%).
Anyway, the syncro's cannot sync the gears, because they are driven on one side by the wheels, and the other side by the engine, you will put excessive wear on the synchro's.

I'm with Mich:
Bad, Bad, Bad. If you do it a while, then take a look at your trans oil and it is all nice and brass speckled it will be obvious

The trans syncros are not made to be used without the clutch. If you want that you have to get a heyland race box with dogs.
