theoretically YES, but if the revs aren't matched close enough, you'll still GRIND the shift. it adds wear to the syncros, (also depending on model, not all gears are synched, like reverse?) Do it enough and you'll lose a gear, as I did.
woops. when I wrote lost 1st gear, I meant it wont stay in 1st by itself. it actually has 1st gear. I just have to hold it in.
