Why we have clutches in our cars then? It's not there for aesthetics. What would you rather do? Powershift and have your tranny go dead? Or for an extra 1/2 second push your clutch in and shift and have your tranny last forever?
Hrm.....

It is true that you can shift without touching the clutch by matching shift points, guys in Semi's do it all the time. Though i don't reccomend it. Just listen to Max and buy an auto if you dont want to shift :wtf:

If people don't want to drive while having to step on a clutch, there IS a thing called automatic.

Yes, "powershifting" can be done and I highly doubt it hurts your transmission. I've dove it many times, in many cars/trucks. You can only do it correctly at certain RPMs. It doesn't save much time so there's really no point in doing it. And NO I don't drive around in my Prelude "powershifting" all the time, but I do it on occasion just for the hell of it. If done correctly, it shifts right to the next gear, nice and smoothly.
