I've tried it three times now, and it's nothing like these guys are explaining.

No lift shifting doesn't change the way the car shifts, it just doesn't require you to lift off the gas.
The car is essentially lifting off the gas for you.
It is no harsher than a normal high rpm shift.....you are still disengaging and engaging the clutch like you normally would. As such, the synchros operate the exact same. If you are worried about trans and synchro wear then don't rev up past 5k...
