Just to add a little extra to my above statement, the reason why we believe it's best to use the Clutch if the Trans has Synchros (on a regular basis anyway) is because it will put wear on the Trans, where it would not have that effect on a non-Synchro Trans.
As far as the Clutch itself goes, I've been shifting gears for 47 years straight now and have never worn out a Clutch yet, car or truck.
I do buy good Clutches though, lol.
