Re: floating the gears good or bad??

Only on a single synchronized gearbox floating gears is fine as long as you know you torque range. But on our cars, the gearbox is dual synchro (Upshift/Downshift), therefore you must use your cluch to prevent damage. Otherwise you'll just be striping the synchro away.
