it is true anonymose? i wanted to tell him that my dear friends at anonymous japanese meme imageboard told me it's not, but i felt like it's somehow inappropriate
i strongly believe that if gears are going in smoothly and i don't have to struggle with the gear handle, gearbox is not taking too much damage while shifting. Am i wrong? Is he wrong? Is it something in between?

Slamming it into gear probably wears the synchros a bit more but it's no huge deal as long as you're not shocking the drivetrain with fast clutch releases at wrong RPMs.

so, you imply that if i match the engine rotation and car-drivetrain-thingie rotation well enough, i won't fuck up my gearbox much?
i don't get rough while releasing the clutch after heel-toe, so i guess i'm doing it right. I think real question i want to ask is: is gearbox getting fucked up simply through very fast gear change or not?
