Exactly. In fact it's hard to imagine a situation where it would be a problem. I guess if you were fanging along in a crawler gear at full throttle it might be a tad hard to pull it into neutral with the drive train loaded up, but then the thing would probably stop quicker than if you jumped on the brakes anyway as soon as you lifted off the throttle. In top gear not having a clutch is such a non event it's actually pretty amusing to listen to these idiots :) -- Regards, Noddy.
