I learned to shift without the clutch too. I used to drive for a guy that kept making little comments about me not using the clutch until one day another truck broke down and we took my tractor in case I had to pull the trailer. It happen to be one of those good days for me and I didn't pay attention to the tach just the sound and hit every gear just perfect. He never said anything about the clutch to ma after that.
On another note, do you know when it is time to get off the road with a manual transmission? When you miss a gear. You may feel fine, but there is fatigue building......
