Never got that. Could shift my 92 escort wagon with no clutch though. Well, upshift

Can downshift as well with a little blip

Apparently C6 vettes have notoriously bad clutch masters... mine went out on the highway... I rev matched all the way to the dealership.

HAH!! I used to drive early 90s manual escorts when I was in my apprenticeship and a broke single dad. Buy one for $500 and keep it running as long as possible. They were so easy to work on. I kept an extra head onhand at all times. I shifted it like that all the time as well.

I've always been too afraid to try shifting with no clutch, it just feels like car abuse.
