I've heard that you really don't need the clutch to change gears...except when getting into first.
That's true but why risk it, clutches are way cheaper than trannies. I drove semi's(12 forward gears w/no syncros) interstate for many years & had lot's of discussions with other truckers who didn't use the clutch. Gotta tell you most of them didn't own their rigs, those that did double-clutched. My bimmer is so much easier to shift single-clutching is no real hassle!
