Don't try this without a dog box. Semi's, old ferrari's, tractors and certain models of the EVO have straight cut gears with no synchros. Your Hondas are all helical cut gears with synchros. They will be helical cut gears with missing chunks if you try to do what those Mustang guys were talking about. Let the synchros do their jobs and use your clutch because Honda trannies aren't really rebuildable.

I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you young fellow... No matter how good it feels, it's hard on the synchros... If ya get in the habit of not using your clutch when shifting, get used to hearing loud grinding sounds when you finally decide the clutch is more fun...
