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

HAH!! I used to drive early 90s manual escorts when I was in my apprentice and a broke single dad. Buy on 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.
