If you don't like using the clutch, then you need this:

All you do it let up the throttle a bit and the clutch is automatic.

Well I would say that you might be able to get away with it for a while, but unless you are very good at it you will tear stuff up sooner or later. Knew another guy who loved to shift clutchless untill he lost a tooth from his third gear! Just some advice unless you are a great mechanic and like rebuilding tranny's

Use the clutch to shift, you will tear up the trans if you don't.

You paid good money for that quad, I would use the clutch when shifting. Sure, that tranny may last a long time powershifting, but sooner or later it will lighten your wallet considerably. I look at it this way, you can replace the clutch at least 5 or more times and still be cheaper than tranny repairs.
