Wayne, you're absolutely right, and as I say, I don't normally shift w/o clutch. That's because, as you say, one can't be 100% all the time, and oh yeah, I'd rather replace a clutch than rebuild a trans! When you're ON though, the lever changes the gears w/absolutely NO resistance from the synchros helping.
I posted this kinda for the fun of it, having read numerous questions about heel & toeing & double clutching. I take a certain pride in having learned to drive with a stick and pride in getting a lotta miles out of a clutch while driving hard but not abusively (went 74k miles on my 99 Vette 6 speed, which I drove like the muscle car that it is, rather than a refined driving machine like my SC).
I've only had my SC (my first Porsche) for about 8 months, and I didn't have the confidence to even try it with the 915 until this morning on the way to work. How sweet it was! (however I'll refrain from doing it except to show off, for all the reasons Wayne states).
