on video Why shouldn't the clutch be pressed PARTIALLY?

 In cars with a manual transmission, some drivers press the clutch pedal lightly to make the engine run smoother. Some drivers even have a habit of keeping their foot on the clutch pedal. This is called "clutch driving". However, do you know that this habit is really bad for your car?

I heard that it was possible to change gears without disengaging the clutch. I didn't know how to do it for years. I just had the click. I share with you what works for me. Attention, I do it because my car has more than 260,000 km, more than 18 years old and cost me 300€ to buy. I advise you not to do this on a car that cost you a lot or new. Even more if it is recent. You will find in the comments testimonials from people who have tested on their car. And in some cases strongly regret it.Details of JB HARTEMANN:

"The only function of the clutch is to decouple the engine from the wheels in order to have identical rotation speeds between the gearbox and the wheels, and to have no effort on the pinions. Suddenly, even without disengaging , if the engine has a rotational speed that corresponds to the speed of the wheels for a given gear, you can shift or remove the gear without problem. Ex: at 1500 rpm while driving at 50 km/h, you can easily shift the gear. 4th because it is the usual engine speed for this speed with this gear. To shift into neutral, you just have to take advantage of the time lapse between the moment you let go of the accelerator and the moment the engine brake kicks in. (this is the moment when we see the gear lever move on its own) The engine and the wheels are almost free, the gear comes out on its own.
You can have fun shifting into neutral without any problem (never force it!), but I don't recommend putting gears on for those who are uninitiated."Accuracy of xkaider Xkaider:

The gearbox synchro must be synchro with the gears to shift gears. It's simpler on the méhari: you hear the synchro when you can change gear.

Accuracy of Real Jacques:
"With a little practice it's a very useful technique. But on front-drive cars it's more complicated because of all the linkages there are to get from the selector to the transmission. For propulsion and for a motorcycle this is easier because the selector is directly on the transmission. the reaction is more direct.”

Testimony of "Damien Yernaux":
"To downshift, you have to give a slight throttle to neutral, it goes much better!!!!!!!""

Testimony of "eddix french"
"Yes very useful in case of breakage of the clutch cable  this system is old. my father did it on a 505 td at the time."

Testimony of "pixie production"
"[...] you can actually do it in the event of clutch control failure and you can also downshift (just put it back in neutral and put the throttle on a little then go down to a lower gear) as well as put the first (provided you force a little and have a slight descent), on the other hand the reverse gear is impossible because it is not synchronized in order to avoid a total destruction of the box. is 20 years of mechanics that speak to you 

Testimonial of "Black Panther":
"It's a simple matter of engine speed upshifting you have to let the engine speed drop to change to the next gear, downhill it's the opposite, accelerate a little in neutral to change to the lower gear. With a little exercise I managed to do on my car, more easily up a gear than downhill however. To be used sparingly however, it forces on the snchros and the forks."

Testimony of Thierry GELIBERT:
"In the past I did it on a Renault 5, when my clutch cable had let go. I was able to return by starting with the starter in first gear and after the gears passed without any creaking, it was enough to change gear arrived at the mark on the speedometer. the principle is that the two shafts where the gears of the gearboxes are fixed must go at about the same speed. to downshift you have to give a little boost to the passage of neutral."

Tony LeMecano:
"It's a troubleshooting technique only! And not adopted on a daily basis. The clutch is an essential system ..."
