Does anyone drive their manual gearbox car without using the cluch? (once rolling of course) I used to do this but heard it can cause excess wear on the synchros. I'd be interested to know whether that's right.

Hmmm But how wrong is too wrong?

Any thoughts on the synchro wear issue? Thinking about it, they say you shouldn't drive with on hand resting on the gear lever because it causes synchro wear. I guess pressing on the lever waiting for the gears to engage would be much the same.
