EOC bump starting -> synchro wear?
When I neutral coast with the engine on, I can rev-match before stepping on the clutch, so when I shift it goes right into gear.
When I bump start during EOC, not only can't I rev-match, but it's got a lot more RPM for the synchro to make up, and I can feel it in the shifter. The synchro has to accelerate the clutch from a dead stop to 1500 or 2000 rpm. Is this going to wear my 5th gear synchro really terribly?
