Changing gear Whilst Driving without having the clutch down?

If you change gear Whilst driving without having the clutch lever down and the gearbox makes that screeching noise.



What actually happens?



What effect has it on the actual car, how long will it last do i have to change it?Changing gear Whilst Driving without having the clutch down?
You are grinding the gears and you will ruin your transmision. It won't last long and will be very expensive to fix! I strongly recomend using your clutch everytime you shift gears!Changing gear Whilst Driving without having the clutch down?
Here's the deal. If you do it right, you can shift a transmission without using the clutch. In fact, it's not a bad skill to have because clutches and clutch cables fail on older cars, like Volkswagens. But it isn't good for the gears because they chip, and can eventually break, as can other parts that are forced when you try to yank it into gear. The screeching noise you hear is the gears buzzing against each other because they are spinning at different speeds, and it is an indication that you are not doing it correcty. The more you do it, the sooner you will be replacing some or all of the transmission.
Can't find it,grind it?

You're grinding the cogs, that's what causes the screeching and if you continued doing it you'd feck the gear box up.
The syncros are mashing together when you hear that noise. Keep doing it and eventually you won't be able to get it in gear. Then you'll need a full rebuild or new trans. Save up!
That is like putting your finger into a fan that's running. What do you think will happen?
