Haha, but seriously. Heel-toe makes you look like a good ass driver. I started with my first stick 6 months ago and started heel toe the same time. Now its second nature, the other day someone who drives stick was in my car looking at me like I was nuts. He didnt understand what I was doing with my feet all over the place and the reving of the engine. It turns out he never knew of it, and he liked that it makes the car run smoother without jerks, like downshifting. He said if he closed his eyes he would think he was in an automatic. Ive seen a lot of people, like old men who have been driving forever, drive horibly (herky-jerkey) but I dont want to say anything to them.

driving without shoes is impossible for me because I need the extra width of the shoes to touch the brake and the Acc.

Yea ricergirl, its amazing you can drive like that, I cant slide the clutch out without shoes.

NuEra do u actually dclutch when u heel-toe and revmatch? I find it makes downshift perfectly smooth that way but it wastes too much time and its poinless for daily driving like me, but its supposed to take load off syncros or something...

No, I know about that too but thats only for racecars or highly tuned cars, we only have to use the clutch once, rev-match when you have the clutch in quickly. I mean you could do it the other way but its pointless because regular cars dont have syncros, I've read this somewhere.

the best way to learn is to learn to put it in gear with out pushing the gas at all. u will get the feel of where the friction point is, just release the clutch really really slow but no gas. u might stall a few times but it will help. (im not saying do this forever or on real streets, just on side streets while practicing). Once u get it down with no gas then u can add a tiny bit off gas and feel that u can let the clutch up a little faster than before. Before u know it u will be a pro. Also on hills just let the clutch up until it hits the friction point and then let go of the brake and add gas, if u do it this way u wont roll back at all. Probably by the time u read this ur already a pro but if not try this out, it is how my friend taught me and how i teach people and they learn instantly.

gently let off the clutch, and gently press the gas.

gas should be pressed gently, yet rapidly
