I make fast clutchless shifts by rev matching. The input shaft is
controlled by engine speed and synchro is not necessary in most
driving. It helps to have a fast engine pickup.

You actually mean very slow gearchanges. No engine ever made slows up or
speeds up fast enough to get anywhere near the speed you can change up or
down with synchromesh.
