My mother was a WAAF transport driver in WWII. She taught me to drive with the assumption that synchromesh in transmissions did not exist - which in the military vehicles she drove it didn't. She called them "crash boxes". And so ... I learned to drive matching gear ratio to engine speed. About the same time, I learned that heel and toeing was the same thing as she was doing, but just more efficient than her off and on technique. (I doubt that transport lorries were really set up for H&T in her years of service). I've been driving H&T ever since - even in docile traffic. It's just a habit. Ma was a great teacher and an impeccable driver.

So it's basically braking while revmatching and changing gear...?

Here a clarification will clear the air as to why a big toe small toe operation of brake and throttle is called heel and toe. Up to 1930's a lot of the cars, e.g. cars, like Packards and Alfa Romeos, etc. had the throttle between the brake and clutch and set lower down. This was very convenient for depressing the brake with your foot in the normal full five toes on the brake manner and have the throttle under the heel , with the foot perfectly canted in a convenient ergonomically correct manner. The non synchromesh transmissions required throttle manipulations especially while down shifting. Normally you pressed the throttle with the foot but when braking and down shifting you moved up to the brake pedal and heeled the throttle, which had very little throw. This also gave enough foot pressure on the mechanical brakes.

Hi Jason, Great Video! You should do a series on how cars got more environmentally friendly over time, maybe explaining catalytic converters, how aerodynamics improved, better gasoline, how engines improved over time to use less fuel, stuff along these lines. Or a Series on how cars got more safe over time, including airbags, improved crash structures etc.

It's interesting to note that the opposite thing happens when upshifting, but no action on the accelerator is required. Engine RPM must decrease to have a smooth match of gear ratios. By taking your foot off the accelerator, engine RPM decreases through friction.

Love it !! I thought that was a lost art. In many cases it's the only way to do a match revs downshift while hard braking. It's also nice to use when trail braking, which can get weird fast. You ought to think about prepping that Honda and joining SCCA. Solo would be fun. (is fun)

This is the best explanation of HT i found. It taught me that ive been doing it naturally the whole time without even knowing it.

I purchased my first manual transmission 2 years ago.. (2005 Honda Accord EX, 5-speed, 4-cyl).. I learned how to drive manual on that car. I still have it and love it more with each passing day! I've never "downshifted", not once. If I'm driving along at 65mph in 5th gear and traffic gradually slows down to 30, I'll let the car slow down in 5th gear and when its time to accelerate again, I'll drop it straight down to 3rd gear and go. Never had any issues yet, and I live LA, drive in traffic and on the highway daily

As a daily driver, I still prefer an automatic. On my morning commute I'm always making phone calls, planning the day etc. On the weekends however, I hop into my oldtimer that gives me complete control over everything.

I learned this from wathcing Initial D, but now I know why it works!

When you brake your body wants to keep moving and if you have both your feet on the pedals, as long as you are not pushing one of them until it doesn't move anymore you are left only with the belt to keep you in place. Belts are keeping you in place but you still move quite a bit, it is not like a locking system on a rollercoaster so your feet are pushed forward. You push the brake ( not completely, you have to keep your foot up at some point ) and at the same time you push the clutch (completely). You select the lower gear and you gave a touch to throttle while braking which is okay because your left foot is pushed to the end and it is like you are standing on it so you can make any adjustments with your right foot. But while keeping that position on the brake without pushing too much or lifting too much when you take your left foot off the clutch after rev matching, until your left foot is placed somewhere fixed, your left foot is in the air your body is still trying to move forward and you are still trying to keep that sweet spot on the brake pedal with your right foot. Right there on that moment i keep screwing up. My right foot gets pushed further than i would like and end up locking up the wheels. Clutch pedals are high and they have a long travel distance pretty much in every car but i guess brake pedals differ more. It looks like your foot is on the brake but your heel is on the ground. In my experiences, i had to lift my foot off the ground in order to push the brake pedal comfortably. Can it be the reason? if not then what might be the reason? why am i falling on to the brake pedal like that? Are you keeping arms straight against the steering wheel pushing yourself back to keep yourself in place? ( steering is not comfy in that case tho ).. I am definitely doing something wrong but which one it is i couldn't figure.

was so confused by this at first, thought it was something advanced. it's just the way you downshift when driving aggressively

I used to drive nothing but Manual transmission cars in the 80s and 90s. i had never heard of this technique. Good to know since I'm thinking about getting a manual transmission car again (not many to choose from). But, hey, KZread didn't exist in the 80s and I thought myself how to drive a manual.

Initial D helped me know about heel-toe technique.

Im not really much well versed into cars engineering and the stuff but DAAMM this video is so fantastically well explained through and through with the inner mechanics of everything that i understood it all.

This is the best I’ve seen on heel toes. Great work keep it up!!

I've never done this technique that I am aware of while downshifting in my Corvette, which I do a lot. I down shift by taking it out of OD then go from 4th to 2nd on all turns. I don't need to slow it down to 3rd because it responds better and safer if I also use the engine to brake into the turn. I can turn at a good rate of speed by simply hitting the OD off then just simply depress the clutch and brake as I start the turn and hit the gas while I'm completing the turn to regain speed again. It's all a very fluid motion and it's like the car is turning on rails. I'm turning at a good rate of speed, yet there is no over steering or under steering while going from the brake to the gas petal. I have an older model 86 Vettte which Ive owned since 87with the 4+3 (+1) Transmission. Since it has the high performance handling package it has an extra gear ratio in first gear as well. I have raced it on the quarter mile without a line lock and was asked to race for the Joe Pisano racing team back in the 90's I'm not bragging, (well maybe just a little) but the reason they invited me to join the team was due to my skills using a manual transmission on the 1/4 mile and winning the races. So reading about this technique was a learning experience for me. I've never been aware of it, not even sure if I have ever even unconciously done it driving any other vehicles. Interesting channel.

The reason why you need use the heel and toe. 1. Correct smooth transition: In short like in example when you at 4th gear at high speed before entering the corner, when you brake. and downshift to 3rd gear. You will feel hard to shift its because the gears are in torque tight just like a door knob difficult to open because there is pressure at the opposite side. The pressure plate at high speed has difficulty to disconnect to clutch disc. The hub also of to each gear are tight mesh To totally separated in each other you have to accelerate while depressing the clutch pedal to release the residual torque. And able to change gear smoothly.

I’m pretty sure his blue sections are green sections are permanently connected, not able to turn at individual speeds. The output shat of any manual transmission is directly connected to the differential, and then to the wheels. Transmission output shaft speed is equal to the driveshaft speed

Probably the best and clearest explanation I've seen here, great vid

Wow, never thought this process can convert to such a theory. Thanks for the explained :)

rev limiters cut fuel from the engine. anti lag is done a few different ways. inject fuel after the exhaust but before the turbo and ignite it with a spark plug. send extra fuel into the cylinder so it gets exhausted and use the heat of the exhaust to ignite it, or change the cam timing to send unburned fuel into the exhaust and ignite.

2 steps and anti lag are similar but not the same, a 2 step can lead to a result similar to anti lagging in turbos though. They are beneficial because it lets you build boost in a Turbo at a stand still..its used pretty commonly on Rally Cars and other turbo charged race cars, though it puts a lot of stress on the turbo. Now for N/A cars, its also beneficial because it allows you to hold the car at full throttle while still maintaining a suitable RPM for launch, based on vehicle capabilities, traction, wheel hop, etc

Great video. From experience though, if you don't heel and toe on a FWD car, depending on the setup and which part of a corner you do this, it can oversteer too.

I believe you may have meant slip ratio as opposed to slip angle in your description; slip angle is the angular difference between the heading and centerline of the tire contact patch, whereas slip ratio is the difference between vehicle and wheel speeds. Love your videos and have learned a lot from them!

its funny. i watched a few tutorials and videos about how and why it is done, but only when you explain what is happening inside the gearbox and engine i got all my questions answered :D now i just need to practise. thanks man!

All of your videos are SOLID ! Personally i think you explain everything perfectly 🤘🏻👍

I have a slightly similar explanation for the people who've learned a bit about driving but need a sort of technical checklist to carry them into the concept: Engine braking - good! Engine braking before and after downshift - good! "Snap" engine braking that exceeds tire grip, possibly during a turn - very, very bad. -> If you're already threshold braking, adding a bunch of engine braking all at once is like stabbing the brakes suddenly, but only on the drive wheels.

+Blehtubezz Aus Modern brakes in no ways make engine braking irrelevant. Engine braking is free deceleration - use of brakes creates heat, which requires time and/or air (that would otherwise get slipped past) cool it, and brake pads and rotors are wear items. Even in the highest levels of racing, where they might start off with a fresh set of rotors and pads each race and have no possibility of cutting through the materials, heat soak will still be a factor and can lead to an overcooked corner after being too aggressive -- It's not like Rallycross is a low-budget example, but consider how many races have gone by without at least one driver overcooking a corner between being too aggressive and then not having that last 5% of braking force to make the difference. In the same sense of the argument, the idea of keeping the engine in its power band is just as irrelevant. Nowadays, most racing series features engines with a broad and low-down torque band that requires far less finesse than a few decades ago. It still adds up, and that's what separates drivers. Most pro racing series where engine braking might not be as technically relevant - involve automatic transmissions with paddle shifters and truck loads of cutting edge electronics tricking in various levels of traction control and automatic rev matching/anti-lag anyway, so it's not like drivers are going to be doing any heel-and-toeing in those vehicles anyway. I don't care if people coast in neutral in their vehicles, it's their vehicle to do with as they please.

This question's been an itch I was never able to scratch until today.

Do you even heel and toe bro

Il your gearbox has a weak synchro or if you want to save them, you could also release the clutch on the neutral, push a little bit on the gas to synchronize the two parts of the gearbox and then quickly push the clutch again and downshift.

This seems like a reasonable practice, quite necessary in fact, but I'm surprised to read about it because I was never taught to revmatch by my instructor, let alone do it while braking. I don't know anyone who's doing it, either, and I wonder why that would be.

This is kinda, maybe, sorta like rev matching?

So is it more comfortable for people to do Heel and Toe rather than rev matching?

In defensive Driver training, I learned that we must break, then clutch, down sheft the gear, release the clutch. Then we inter the corner.

I have been doing this for years, but not recently BC the last manual I owned was in 2002.

I learned heal and toe driving while in a truck that didn't always idle well. Lol so i had to learn to use both the gas and the brakes when needed.

Damn, I've been doing that for years now. Didn't even know this had a name.

The best thing about heel toe is being able to add in more temporary rear braking bias to help rotate the car better on slower speed tight corners with out running so much actual rear brake bias that the car is a bit scary on high speed corners.

best video on the topic on youtube

Thank you for doing this vid - think you now have all the shifting techniques covered. I had to learn how to do this when I first got my licence (my first car had very little in the way of brakes or power, so maximizing the little I had was important if I wanted to get anywhere), but I've always found it kinda difficult to explain to anyone how the process works.And next...maybe an explanation of how to properly use left foot braking, along with when and why racers use it?

+Attila theHun Not ridiculous. I do it every day without even thinking about it, even in city driving. If you drive a car with no low end torque downshifting becomes fairly important if you want to accelerate at all. There are other applications of the technique too, such as hill starts.

@samdouglas32

8 жыл бұрын

It has *nothing* to do with synchromesh. Heel-and-toe is a technique for using the accelerator while braking, usually for rev-matched downshifting. Downshifting is a necessity in underpowered cars, and being able to do that while braking is certainly a useful technique for driving smoothly. Re: hill starts. Of course it's 'not necessary'. It's just another technique for avoiding the car rolling back. If we're limiting our discussion to 'modern cars' then many have hill start assist anyway so that's a moot point. My 25 year old car does not.

@samdouglas32

Synchromesh matches the speed of the gears (blue part in his diagram) and output shaft/wheels (green part). Revmatching means matching the engine (red) to the gear speed (blue). If you're driving at 3000rpm in 3rd and you select 2nd gear, the synchronisers will help the gear engage, but now the transmission might be spinning at 5500rpm, and the engine speed has probably dropped. If you engage the clutch, either you need to slip the clutch a lot (wear, takes time), or engage the clutch quickly but that will cause a braking effect because the transmission needs to drag the engine up to speed.

Sam Douglas Absolutely correct, mate - double clutching is to save synchro, and heel-and-toe or rev-matching is to smooth out your downshifts and reduce wear on the clutch. Also, regarding hill starts...I've owned a car (Oldsmobile Cutlass Sports Coupe - with typical GM lack of forethought) with the park brake operated by a pedal on the floor, to the left of the clutch - push once to engage, and a second time to disengage. So you can't use it on hill start, since you'd have to try to disengage it while already on the clutch pedal. The only options left are to kill the clutch with huge amounts of slipping, or applying the throttle while holding the brake at the same time.

Best explanation video so far because all the other ones are made by amateur noobs that fumble through their words

Couldn't do it with my first manual car (Pontiac G5) since the throttle and brake are not only far apart, but they aren't even flush together. The gas pedal is set much deeper in the footwell than the brake and clutch. Going to try this on my Eclipse GT, fingers crossed.

This explanation glosses over some key details. There are two phases....getting OUT of gear, then getting back in. You do not need the clutch for either. So, as you are braking in 4th, the gearbox is loaded with the wheels exerting a backwards from normal torque which results in the engaging dogs in the box being locked backwards. A slight blip of the throttle (optionally with light clutch) will "slack the box" and it will pop out of gear into neutral. Then you let the clutch back out. Or you can not use the clutch at all and just use the "blip" to slack the box and get out of gear. Now, The layshaft and output shaft have not changed speed. The problem is 3rd gear pair is going too slow. You need to speed up the engine WITH THE CLUTCH NOT PRESSED IN so the dogs can pop in. So you blip again, which speeds up the engine and drive train including all the gear pairs. Now 3rd gear is close to matching the dog speed, and you and clutch again to engage. If you are good....you can use no clutch at all. This is a true, proper double blip downshift.

I am just DIGGIN this entire channel! Thank you so much!!!

I think you always have the perfect answer

I practice this while the car is in stationary. I found it's difficult to use toe for pressing brake pedal and heel for pressing throttle. So I tried different way : use heel for pressing brake pedal and toe for pressing throttle, it's easier. However, I haven't practiced in actual driving until I find safe and comfortable using my own version of heel-toe.

Actually, what's shown here is called "false" heel and toe. The "real" one requires double-clutching at the same time. Difference is just the "true" one will save the synchros (and is mandatory on old non-synced gearboxes). For the rest, the "false" one is just as effective, and as it's less difficult to do, is used in racing.

I hadn't remembered until you mentioned it, but every time my 78 Corolla was cold, I'd use this method when coming to stops, etc.

First thing I do it's switch down gear then brakes then release the clutch (not fully) intill I get 500 rpms lower than when I've have to shift up again and floor it, the power comes back (it's like matching your rpms with the speed you get to in a lower gear while braking) then again it depends on how much hp/torque ratio you have, I've got a truck lower hp higher torque, pretty old shitty looking but a lot more fun than my automatic (1 year difference).

Great video! I believe you missed a reason for this technique however: In rally sport turbo cars, heel&toe is mainly done to keep the engine in the power revband so you can accelerate out of a corner without turbolag. Just like in left-foot-braking, but with a gear-change involved.

I wouldn't think a small blip on the throttle would help the turbo that much, but holding it down while braking with the left foot - which can be really hard on the brakes - would keep the exhaust gasses pumping while the car slows. These days, I think they use those anti-lag systems that sound like firecrackers going off under the car.I've also heard that left foot braking can be used to change the car's attitude and balance when cornering...but I've never gotten the hang of it myself, so that's just hearsay at this point. :-P

Absolute legendary explanation. Thanks a million

So this is pretty much rev matching. Already do this. I just didn't know what it was called, lol.

You put se feet on ze frottle and you get ze power INSTANTLY!

I have a question as a new driver how do you control a clutch in a bumper to bumper traffic is it through just clutch or clutch + gas?

This is neat. I'll have to remember it when I get a vehicle that's more than a 4 speed (almost never need to shift) pickup with no tach (gotta play everything by ear) :)

Can you explain in a future video how push (bump) starting a manual transmission car works?

Can you explain Granny shifting and double clutching?

Best video on the topic

Awesome and simple explanation

Please do a video/series on wheels/tires handling for different types of vehicles/drives/surfaces. For example; Does a wider wheel/tire always means more grip on FF/AWD/front and mid engine RWD/RR ? ... Do smaller profile tires always mean more grip ? ... What's the best wheel and tire size combo for comfort, on-road safety, and performance ? ... When can/should you have staggered wheels/tires ? ... and so on

If you don't heel-toe, can you avoid turbulence by simple pushing in the clutch and selecting the appropriate gear? I never learned heel toe earlier and only used said method with some significant success. Just wondering what the community thinks.

please do how positive and negative offset how affects handling

+Engineering Explained So in short, this is s a technique to enable revmatching ("bliping") while Your right foot is "busy braking" , have I understood it correctly ?? And thanks for another interesting video... Best regards

i think i get it, as you downshift, the gears on the lay shaft get smaller, which drive the clutch faster

Jason, its not car related but you should do a video on stalling hydraulics in heavy machinery , I think you would do a great visual explanation. I also would like a tee shirt!

The new MINI models automatically do this when you shift down- I think there are switches that you hit just before you complete the gear change

Very well explained. Clear and concise.

Best explanation yet. Good work!
