I was talking about cars with my professor a couple of days ago and he asked me if I've ever heard of California shifting. I was like
 what the hell is he talking about? Then he explained and said that theres a point in the rpm range where you can just shift without touching the clutch. He told me to try it out, but I just got the clutch replaced and scared of busting it. Maybe he was talking about them muscle cars with the slap stick.

Shifting without using the clutch is a way of "emergency use only" kind of deal. My brother did this in out AE92. There is a very small gap 100-200rpm I believe where you can safely shift gears without the use of clutch.
