Question about stick-shift?

Question

i like to drive without using the clutch to shift...my dad says its bad for the transmission whereas my grandpa says its perfectly fine and the clutch just makes it easier to shift. I prefer not using the clutch, is that okay? i hear different things

Answer 1

not using the clutch can damage the tranny

Answer 2

Answer 4

Do what you feel comfortable doing  in a standard
