So ok here is the scoop. First of all it's called floating the gears. And you can do it at not only high rpm's but almost any if you time it right. I have been in the trucking industry for over 20yrs and, (This is the part were you go ya right..) I don't belive in not using your clutch. And as for the saying; it doesn't hurt anything, I would sugest you pull your gear box plug and put a small magnet in the oil and see just how much metal you do come out with. I think you would be suprised. Now this is not saying you can't do it, or that it can't be done.. But it is not good for your rig..

Just some old advice from a old trucker.
