Right, but if you dont let out the clutch pedal while in neutral, your
input shaft of the tranny isnt moving, therefore doing no good. Your best
bet is (if you insist on even using the clutch) is to pull out of gear
with no load on the gear (positive or negative) pull it into neutral,
match the revs, then clutch and go into next gear.
There is an easier way, but I cant give away ALL my secrets! :)
