Only necessary I would think on gearboxes & gears w/o synchros. In
theory you could do this on a TR3 downshifting from 2nd to 1st but why
bother -- you'd be going about 5 mph at the time. In fact -- with
strong syncros and deft hand, foot & ear coordination you can shift a
manual without using the clutch. I wouldn't try this on my TR but have
had too in the VW out of necessity and on the BMW just cause I could.
