If done right, a clutch is not even needed to shift.

51 years of driving manuals!!!

You mean when the revs are at the correct point? Wouldn't that still grind the gears?

You acquire the feel.
Pull into neutral as you release the gas, slide into gear as it revs down, slightly throttle as it hooks into gear.

Give it gas while in neutral, its too late. Wait too long its too late.

Learned it on crash boxes!

Even with the clutch, I still subconsciously blip the throttle while crossing neutral!
