It creates less wear, if u do it correctly. Else you can mess up your tranny and cause gears to slip out later down the line.

I personally don't do it, but if from someone's explanation on another thread.. if you do it while the tranny is not under load (best time is when u're pushing gas and just let it off). There's a split window play period where you can pull into neutral and it'll be ok... saves a bit of clutch wear.

So short answer to your question is No, but it can if you do it incorrectly. If you feel resistance when you're trying to go into neutral, don't do it.

Be safe, use the clutch if you're not sure . It's what I do
