YouTube - huh? Well, I suppose I could make one. Right now I have no spare time though... The text version. Start with the 3-4 shift. It's the easiest. Do everything just like you would using the clutch - just don't press the clutch pedal. The "trick" is to not actually pull the shifter into 4th until the transmission lets you. With very slight pressure against the synchros, it's possible to feel when the speed matches. At that point, a quick "snink" and it's in gear.
