While driving a manual is it bad for the car to just shift out of gear without using the clutch?

No. You just have to manually synchronize the engine speed with the gear selected. Its called double clutching. Semis do it all the time. Takes practice.

What a load of ignorant answers. NO, shifting into neutral without depressing the clutch will NOT damage your transmission or your clutch. In fact, the purpose of a clutch was originally to ASSIST the driver in switching gears. Older cars didn't even have clutches and were revved into gear. Any manual transmission will even shift into gear without using the clutch, but due to close-gear ratios and higher speed capabilities of modern automobiles, revving into gear is harder to do and doing it incorrectly WILL damage the clutch, but popping into neutral won't as all the gearing in the transmission are not mated and the clutch is simply disengaged regardless of clutch use or not.

" is it bad for the car to just shift it into gear without using the clutch?" What do you mean? Pressing your clutch down should be the only way you switch gears unless you have like the manual/automatic cars

It causes no damage to shift out of gear with no clutch. Shifting IN is tricky, you have to have the right rpm, called synchroing. Big trucks do it but with a car's tranny, it will cause wear on the gears, so don't do it.

Well, keep doing it!

But eventually, you will find it slips out of gear all on its own.

If that, or a ruined transmission from "grinding" into gear, or a ruined clutch just because of the unusual shocks it has to transmit are not enough to deter you, you are a fool.

Who are you trying to impress? Certainly you won't impress someone who understands cars!

YES. I feel sorry for your transmission. Besides you feel worried about your wallet when you have to pay for a new one.

Just hit the clutch when changing gears. Its actually really fun.

there should be hessitation getting into the gears with out the clutch, true, but i would check the tranny and possiably the clutch just to be safe.

Yes

comeing out is not so bad but shifting in to gear is very bad on the grears

If you are not going to another gear, the answer is no.
