I did this all the time on my motorcycle.
The simplest way to put it is, that the motor rpms must match the tranny rpms. That point is GENERALLY just as you let off the gas. The trick is to shift as fast as you can! This will not harm your tranny in anyway, if done correctly. If not done right, you will here me on my cb's pa laughing at you and saying the classic, "Grind it til it fits"
I actually had to do this for about 5 miles of suface street driving, because my clutch was out. We push started it at every light, the clutchless shifted when we had to.
As far as shifting too early. I don't shift til the motor sounds right. Last time I checked that's just over 3000 I think. The shift light on your dash, tells you to shift at about 2400. Talk about wrecking your motor! Some people don't understand that these smaller engines like higher RPM's
