This is what worked for me, over 40 years on the road. Almost always used clutch when moving the stick, shifted 2-3 speed rear or trans splitter with throttle only. Only floated when showing a newbie that it can be done with practice. Used 2 fingers on stick for better feel when the teeth lined up. Useing the clutch eliminates the shock load on gear teeth in case the RPMs are just a tad off. Only clutch failure I had was from rear main seal leaking, clutch got oil soaked, not worn. IMHO, clutch failure comes from slipping. Never touched throttle until clutch was all the way out. Modern engines will pick up the load at idle. FWIW, if you can shift a rear engine stage coach, screaming Detroit, non-synchro 4 speed, no tach, engine 40 feet away so you can't hear it, clutch or float, then you can float anything. Otherwise best to use clutch. your opinion may vary. Willie
