Default Clutchless shifting on a quattro?

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried clutchless shifting on a quattro system. I've seen some vids on you tube about it but the vids were only on front wheel drive cars.

I've been plaging around with it a bit and I noticed that I can shift out of gear and into neutral without the clutch. It's very easy to do and there is absolutely no grinding. When it try to shift into a gear I hit the "wall" and out of fear of breaking something I don't push it.

The vids on YouTube all showed the shifting to be almost as smoothly as using the clutch however, the cars were FWD. Can anyone do it on a quattro system?

Don't like shifting... You should have bought an automatic.

If you plan on destroying your car..... Just gift it to me. I'll actually take care of it

Its possible on any car. You just have to match the rpms perfectly with where they need to be. That takes a lot of practice. But like Tek said, if you don't like the clutch, get rid of it. I'm sure an auto guy will trade you that wouldn't mind having a stick instead.

Thanks Audi Tek, nice response (yawn)

I take great care of my car as if it's any of your business. I was asking a simple question. If you can't answer then don't bother.

It's people like you that turn asking a simple question in an open forum into a big deal. No one asked you to respond so next time do us all a favor and spare us the condescending attitude.
