Preserving transmission synchros

Shifting gears while the clutch isn't completely disengaged will cause wear and tear on the syncros. Like I preached before, its better to go to the floor with the pedal

Shifting gears while the clutch isn't completely disengaged will cause wear and tear on the syncros. Like I preached before, its better to go to the floor with the pedal when shifting, especially if you are a newer manual driver. Better safe than sorry IMO. Yes, we all know the true engagement point is about halfway down on the pedal and not the floor... but if the clutch is even slightly still pressed up against the flywheel during a shift, its going to transmit that torque throughout the transmission, and eventually you'll be saying "can't find it, grind it".
