if in first and accelerating ease off the gas and pull on shifter lightly towards 2nd. it will slide in gear when it engine drops to correct rpm, continue same through all gears.
Downshifting.... example in 4th, as you let off gas, pull shifter out of gear, tap the gas to brings rpms up as your doing this push lightly towards 3rd. and it will slide in at corrct rpms.
its really easy, just get a knack for it after a while.

if you want to go clutchless while racing, than extensive work should be done such as faceplating, gear,synchro & blocker ring modifications.

We're talking about the 4 cylinder Jeep here, not the hot rod.

Adam - this is why I only shop for automatic XJs.....don't wanna deal with wet muddy clutches.
