The way people do those stunts is they hit the brake and clutch hard both at once locking up the wheels and shifting at that point. It not good for the car. Its kind of like truck commercials. They always show them racing through a field at 90mph when if fact if you did that your suspension would be ruined in a matter of days. Also in a manual transmission all forward moving gears are always connected. "they are always meshed" the reverse gear is the only one that meshes like the other guys said. But the reason it grinds isnt because of the way its cut. Its grinds because both gears are moving in opposite directions.
