I've been doing the same thing ever since I figured out that you can easily pop the car out of gear into neutral without clutching, as long as you let the revs die first. I mean I don't do it every time, but when I'm lazy.
But I never did understand WHY it's so easy to pop the tranny out of gear with only an easy tap on the shifter and no clutch - does anyone know?
