I'll have to try this when I get home today.
Why would upshifting w/o the clutch be less damaging than using the clutch?
It'll be less wear on your clutch because you're not using it (clutches are still fairly cheap to replace). Also, when done correctly, the shift is almost instant (like an automatic). You preload the shifter, simultaneously roll off gas/upshift/roll on gas. Less movement in your rpm and a lot smoother.
