Heel-toe shifting technique

My attempt at demonstrating heel-toe downshifting technique. This is a single-clutch technique. Double-clutching can also be useful. Some day I'll get around to making a video demonstrating that. :)

Some cars will require adjustment / repositioning of pedals. Fortunately, neither of my cars needed it.

No. With single-clutch technique, you clutch once for each downshift. With double-clutch technique, you double-clutch for each downshift. Many drivers do this for each gear, even if going from 5th to 2nd... 5 - 4 - 3 - 2.

when you are on the track and you just "downshift normally" on a curve, is just like pulling the e-brake your rear end will brake more making you spin out(on RWD), but if you just heel&tow you will have a smooth downshift with out resistance. on fwd its kind of the same but the point is not to put stain on your tranny and have a smooth transition

double clutching when heel and toeing should only be done if you are coming down more than one gear correct?? in other words if you are only coming down one gear you hit the clutch only once right?

No. If you down-shift and want to keep the car stable, you have to RAISE the rpms during the shift (with a "throttle blip") so when you let out the clutch in the lower gear, you won't bog the car (and possibly lose control).

Wait so are just trying to keep the rpm's the same from one gear to another down shifting basicly?

i dont get whats the point of that. as opposed to just downshifting normally
