I believe you  risk ruining your synchronizers.

padagdag na din what's powershift?

Powershift - shifting without lifting off the gas pedal

Without getting into too much details, a synchronizer basically allows for smoother shifting of manual transmission. A broken synchro is usually signalled by a crunch sound heard when shifting.

is it true that there are some who can shift without depressing the clutch pedal?

Yeah it's easy...  You have to time your shifts with engine revs...  Kinda hard to describe using words but easily shown.

Used by truckers but of little value to the automobile driver.

not to mention clutch mo din mabibingo ng di oras

di magtatagal parang sasabit yung transmision mo pag nag shift ka due to the failure of the scynchronizers...

Evere since I've been using Speed shifting lang...

oo nga pala napansin ko minsan pag nagshishift me papuntang 3rd gear naririnig ko yung cruch sound na yun pero minsan lang nangyayari yun hindi kaya sira na scynchronizers ko?

ok yung powershift pag marami kang pampagawa ng transmission mo hehe....basic  principle ng  synchoronizer eh parang ganun sa bisekletang may grears pag kelangan mong mag shift sa bisekleta may mga mechanical points ito para magmove yung chain nya sa right gear..ganun din ang principle ng clutch to the gears..pag nasira synchronizer mo hirap pumasok sa tamang gears,at ang bigat itulak...

hehe...ako din ganyan...wear and tear lang siguro  

there are also certain types of trannies that have no synchros pero usually used for racing. dogleg ata tawag dito (not sure).

you'll notice that this causes tha loud whine sa mga touring cars on tv...

mahal ito tho and kelangan lagi i-rebuild!
