A friend and I have been debating this for some time now, he thinks the manaul transmissions in 3/4 and 1ton pickup are not built for shifting without the clutch and doing so will destroy the synchronizers and other parts. I feel if they are strong enough to handle the power these engines can produce today, there is no harm in floating the gears. Anyone have knowledge on this subject so we can end this debate? I drive a truck locally and we never use the clutch except to get moving. I don't think I'd do it in my Dodge Dakota, that is a light tranny.
