thought this was an interesting thread... i know its old, but back to life maybe? haha. agh, im bored.
Nah nah... thats referred to as shift locking. Clutch kicking much resembles a physical kick to the pedal while already in the gear... and ya, great for when you begin to lose your momentum (in my case from lack of power), because it kicks your rear back out to that angle you needed, and picks up your speed too
But you're sure right about the unsettling of the drivetrain.
