My dad had to do that a few years back in his '62 Volvo. Same thing, kill it at stop lights, start it up in gear, and float the gears driving down the road. I'm pretty good with a stick shift, but I can't shift without the clutch. I've tried a few times on my cobalt, it just resulted in a horrible grinding noise, and my wife yelling at me.
When you let off the accelelerator it should pop out of gear ,push it to next gear
It is best to use the clutch , the transmission will be much happier

On US 41 going across the Everglades and the heater core got to leaking. Pulled into a state park and set up the trailer, then pulled the hoses off the heater at the firewall and plugged them securely. I replaced the heater core when we got home to Arizona. That job is a real PITA.

Why would you need a heater in the Everglades and Aridzona?
