yea, you have to steady the rpms at the right speed and the gears slide together.

I wouldn't bother trying it, just to save the life of the tranny by not grinding gears trying to learn.

The idea is to apply throttle so that as you slide the shifter out of gear, the rpms stay where they are, and then lower the rpms to the appropriate speed to engage the next gear. seems simple, but its only useful if your clutch ever takes a crap.
