Yup.

Cars were built for quite a few years before they had syncros. I once
broke my left big toe on the night just before a trip to New York.
(Don't ask how) I just wrapped it up, and left a 5:00 am to catch my
flight. Much to my annoyance, and extreme pain, I could not fully
depress the clutch pedal in my Audi. I drove to the airport without
once touching the clutch pedal, and I still had an operable tranny when
I got there. Rev matching is the key.
