i accidentally pulled it out of 3rd without the clutch before, i was going slow, around 1500 rpm or less and it just came right out with the same force i use with the clutch. i'm assuming this is no big deal since people say 3rd pops out on it's own sometimes

oops, thread title should read pulling it out with OUT clutch

it happens. you can get it out of any gear if ur at the right RPM without the clutch. Some people can go through most of the gears without touching the clutch, although its not recommended

i actually had a friend try this on some auction cars. He said it will come out at a low rpm like 1500 but will struggle at the higher rpm's. He did this on about 3 different cars.
