Learn to heel-toe (actually more like ball-of-foot / side-of-foot) and smooth upshifting. Your tranny will love you and your lap times will be faster.

The R/T 56 I thought might be a good way to learn without tearing up a tranny while learning.

From what I understand, once you get the rev matching down, shifting up or down without the clutch is not that difficult.

Truckers do it all the time.
