Ill have to check...ive pulled out of gears before without the clutch (but Id use the clutch to re-engage) once or twice just farting around...it naturally wants to stay in neutral in the middle (between 3rd\4th) so maybe thats why it can be pulled so easy...but im finding it hard to understand why you would need help with this....car doesnt have enough power for me to accidentally pull 3rd to neutral...and if it then you would just move your seat up so you could reach the shifter better, or better yet, shift to third and put your right arm back on the wheel....its not a safety precaution on pulling the shifter out of a gear without the clutch...it was easy to do in my mustang (it would even come out of gear on bumpy gravel roads where you would have to hold the shifter in the gear).
