I'm not sure about 4-wheelers but on the Nascar circuit they don't even use the clutch after they get going.You can also do this on a regular car after you get going with the revs built up.I've done accidentaly before(A stick popped up and hit it) on my quadsport and it didn't hurt anything that once, but I wouldn't take a chance on it again.

i dont think it should hurt it. my dad hauls mobile homes and when he is hauling them he doesnt use the clutch. on my timberwolf i was told hen im hot rodding it the clutch actually never disengages, so the way it sounds to me im not using the clutch. i havent had any problems yet with my 4 wheeler. so i would say it is ok, but that i just what i think. dont go by what i say, because i might be wrong.

I cannot remember what veeshman had to say in the previous posts, but I'm hoping it's along the line of wearing out your shift fork in the tranny......
Over the short haul, you will not hurt anything (if your lucky)....But when it does finally decide to go...you could be looking at $$$$ for a rebuild of your tranny...... If the engine was designed for clutchless use...It would come with a Polaris sticker on it.

when you are shifting without a clutch you are not disengageing the engine from the tranny, so they are always traveling the same speed. when you go to the next gear the transmission will be in neutral for a moment as you move to the next gear, and you need to adjust throttle to match ground speed of new gear. These small transmissions are not designed to do this. Someone mentioned that their dad moves mobile homes without a clutch - I would assume he is using a semi tractor with a 10 speed in it, and to shift the ten speed the engine/tranny must be turning at the same rate. You are supposed to "double clutch" for the big trucks, but the same effect can be achieved by letting off the gas for a moment, slipping it into neutral, adjusting throttle, and then sliding into the next gear. This takes practice! I would say find a nice straightaway and work on it, remember you dont want any strain on tranny when you shift. Good luck
