How is your heel and toe? Let me know! Leave me any questions here.

At 64 years and having never raced or taken a school... I've spent the last 45 years reading books and magazine articles, trying to figure out heel and toe... You just taught me the sequence in 12 minutes!!! THANKS! I just bought a GT-40 replica for track days... You have an open invitation to take her out at Barber when I get her ready

Well I'll be first attempting it with my 370z on my way home from work today, been driving manuals my whole 18 year driving career and this is the first video I've seen that made me feel like I could hone this skill easily enough. Great video, thanks for the breakdown! Hopefully it'll come as natural as the rest of driving has for me.

Outstanding tutorial. The concept that heel toe shifting is a braking technique is worth the price of admission.

I'm 17, heel and toe downshifting is one the best and most useful techniques I've learned in a manual. I started around last year after seeing keiichi tsuchiya doing it in a gunsai video. I then just tried it and after a few times, I was smooth with it and loved it.

[KingZuluKing]

this seems like a proper instructions layed down in logical way, thanks al ot

[marcasswellbmd]

This was one of the best heel toe vid's I have seen in a while..

[irizaribikes]

Thank you for this. You, sir, are a natural at teaching/coaching, and enjoyable to watch your excellent video presentations. And picking the nice colored Vans for this helps viewers follow your feet much easier.

[zigmoto]

Thanks for the great video! I need to learn this! Your video also made me miss my Veloster N. Man, that was a great car...

[junlee]

Mr. Makse! Thank you for 6 steps you shared, it really helped me to improve how I drive.
Somehow I always did not "clutct out" until I finish my braking or applying two steps of "brake off" and "clutch out" simultaneously. It didn't not only hindered my clutch engaging/release timing, but also lose the point of heel and toe; staying in power band. Next day after watching your lesson, it made a night and day difference, I don't upset my drivetrain as often as I used to, but stay in healthy RPM range :)

[marcwentzel]

Great video. I just enjoy using the technique, it's just fun. When you nail the downshift it just feels 👍

[youngbuck]

Thank you for this! I just found your channel after accidentally clutchless downshifting successfully 😂 didn’t know that was possible. This is a huge help if you have clogged cats too because they make the rpms drop too fast as you let off the gas.
Techniques like this make an old 2001 GM nv3500 much more drivable from my experience. Aside from an actual race the 4.3 V6 with a manual can get down

[mystoller]

Thanks for this, explained things much better than I have heard before!

[hmackprotection]

Yes!! This video is what is needed! Thank you 💯🙏🏾

[ChrisCram]

this is awesome Brian! Well done and thank you for this!

[bridgettehurst]

Thanks so much - first car was a Manuel but never learned this technique - hope to use it soon with a Miata I plan to purchase -

Excellent tutorial!

I own a 2018 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth with manual transmission. Your video helped me to finally understand how to heel and toe. Love the sound of that Abarth exhaust every time I blip the throttle...!

[tomdoe]

You're the best can't wait to try this out today!

[awgie]

I've recently obtained a manual FRS, this is my first manual daily ever. I've been getting alot more comfortable behind the wheel and rev match downshifting is becoming much easier. I've tried doing heel toe downshifts and I've always press too hard on the brake thus almost sending myself thru the windshield. I'll get it at some point. I'm just going to focus on getting the basics down to a science, It's only been 3 or so months

[robertferagotti]

This was an excellent video! Im going to start practicing this tonight! ❤
