Default Clutch Issue

Alright so I'm coming home from school and I'm in third... and i accidentally just lightly nudge the shifter and the car comes right out of third... i didnt even have the clutch pressed at all, then when i got off the highway and onto some small streets i figured out i could actually up-shift 1-4th without ever pushing in the clutch... but only when i wasnt pressing the gas, so no added torque to the drivechain i'm guessing... i'm thinking it is just the clutch pedal that needs to be adjusted, but want to just see what you guys think... i will adjust the pedal today and let you know if that works...

Your car is fine. It is actually possible to shift without the clutch as you describe. Some people drive like that all the time but if you ever miss a gear it's real hard on the transmission.

yeah I knew a guy that drove an old dodge truck and he never used the clutch, he just let off the gas.
