this is probably a dumb question but when driving do you have to push the clutch in to go into neutral? i noticed the other day that i could shift into neutral w/out pushing the clutch in. i have always used the clutch to go into neutral. that being said i kind of taught myself to drive stick.

you CAN just pull it back into neutral but it's probably not good for your synchros

if your not forcing it, it should be fine. you can also shift without the clutch. ive only done it 2 or 3 times on my V, but i did it in my 4runner all the time.
