After a million rev match videos, youtube finally brought me a Gem.
Thanks man. Best explanation thus far

Okay, THIS VIDEO gave me a clear insight on downshifting with rev matching without being confused. Now, it's just practice and muscle memory. Thanks man!

Probably the best tutorial on this technique that I've seen. I'm a 63 year-old duffer who is now simracing, using mainly paddle shifts on the steering wheel, but in my younger days I recall using a 'three on the tree' transmission, but cannot recall doing heel-toe.

I bought an H-pattern shifter for my rig, and will now learn how to do heel-toe, which I should have done 40 years ago, lol.

Iv watched a lot of rev matching tuts..
This is by far one of the most best teaching, understandable rev matching tut, i think iv seen to date.
Thank you for this video.

Been watching lots of tutorials on rev matching this past weekend, you explained it the best, thanks for the video!

I've seen a million rev matching videos and yet I haven't got the most of it. But this one is exceptional 🔥

[harrvey]

Thanks for the video! This is the only video on YouTube that actually explains how to rev match. Its very obvious you know what you're talking about.
Other videos just recite other YouTubers.

Hi Chris
I have been using the technique for some time. Your explanation while stationary was excellent.
Well done.

great vid bro. I've been practicing heel toe rev match down shifting in my new focus rs. I got a gas pedal spacer from mishimoto that brings the gas pedal up to be even with the brake. It makes it so much easier to reach the gas with your heel. I've been rev matching for years but the heel toe takes a bit of practice. It seemed like i could never get the blip right since my gas pedal was recessed and it was so damn uncomfortable and almost physically impossible to reach. as soon as I got the gas pedal spacer I banged it out perfect in a few days. my lap times at the track actually decreased a bit since my shifts are so much smoother. anyway, this is by far the most informative heel toe vid on here. props

I've watched a few videos on this now and you have explained it the easiest for me to understand. Thanks man!

[fkporsche]

Thanks for the tips. Practicing on standing still on foot works help a lot. 🦅🦅🇺🇸 cheers

Hello Brandon. This video is very informative. I never focus or tried to rev match when I had manual vehicles. I Just heard about rev match till the new model corvettes and camaros! But when I get another manual transmission, I will practice heel and toe more to experience on my own what rev match feels like.

good video, just a note for everyone else watching he says "drop the clutch" you never want to DROP the clutch. You'll end up with a dead clutch quickly. You always progressively release the clutch...unless you like visiting the mechanic lol

[enthusiast]

Practice makes perfect. Good advice practicing heel toe while parked. I also recomend practice rev matching while driving first. Once you got a grip on that move on to heel toe

[cinogames]

Woah.. i was like more than 4 months (in january I started to learn for my DL, and in march i got the DL finally) wrong. I thought downshift is like > lil brake, clutch, change gear, releas the clutch. Now i did finally get it. Thank you so much.

[patbowl]

great video. You speak fast enough which my ADD can keep up. Excellent

[untilthelastrebel]

been driving for around 3 years and still have that "clunky" movement every now and again when shifting - this has helped big time, thanks

[PullutPete]

Holy shit, I've watched about 15 other videos and yours was the only one that actually made any sense to me at all. Thanks a bunch man! Been driving a manual for almost 3 years and I just now heard about rev matching, double clutching etc, and wanted to learn to give it a go.

[firehot]

This is by far the best explanation of the heel toe downshift.
