Heel toe shifting

YouTube - Heel Toe Driving Technique

Is this not possible with our mustangs. I mean my feet can not fit in that little area where the gas peddle is. when i down shift i usually just throw it into neutral and rev it up and then down shift but heel toe is so much quicker and less annoying. I also noticed our Peddles do not all line up with each other so you can not really put your heel way down in that little area. But if they were all lined up i think i could do it.

Tell me if this will work or will this throw the throttle off and stuff.

That Little screw that is circled in yellow is holding the gas peddle on. It looks like you can adjust it so if you push the lever back farther and then put some sort of stopper on it the gas peddle will be aliened with all the other peddles. This is really hard to explain over the internet so bare with me. Another way of looking at it is if you are sitting in your driver seat and you put your toe under the gas peddle and pull your leg towards you, the gas peddle will move up and be alined with the other peddles but as soon as you take your toe out from under it, it will go back to its normal position . So if i put some kind of stopper on that screw or lever at the top where it is circled in yellow will this throw off the throttle or should i still be able to accelerate like normal?

I want to get to a race track one of these days and heel toe is pretty much something you would need to be able to do.

Forget the tech question i think i found a solution to it so ill try it out tomorrow.

Anyone do Heel toe though often during normal driving or when ever?

Woah! thats crazy lmao... i would be afraid that i would miss the downshift lmao... too much going on all at once. At least for the first couple of times i tired it.

wait.... are you always supposed to give it gas with the clutch in while downshifting? I always just downshift, no gas involved

when i'm road racing i'll always give it a healthy amount of gas, but never during normal driving...

I heel toe all the time in my mustang

the idea is to sync the revs with the gear speed.

If you are not doing heel toe all you do is. Put the car in nuetral as you are slowing down rev the engine With the Clutch still depressed then
then downshift and let the clutch out before the RPM start to lower. You are matching the engine speed with the transmission speed. If the Car Jerks while you downshift then you downshifted wrong. You need to give it more gas or get the RPMs higher when you are in neutral. I think i explained it right. It's a lot easy to do then explain. I just do it naturally without thinking now.

that would take alot of getting use to

PowerShiftz02GT · March 11th, 2008, 10:03 PM

^^^^^^ hahah gotcha. I thought you were asking lol. No but i think doing it on the streets would be fun though and quicker then the other way

SO you can fit your heel in that little area where the gas pedal is in your mustang?

we always called that rpm matching downshifts, i do that when i daily drive

zinc02GT · March 11th, 2008, 10:05 PM

shit fuck that man...

my feet are too big for something like that.

I just push the clutch in rev the engine to the right rpm and pop it into the lower gear that I want...

PowerShiftz02GT · March 11th, 2008, 10:07 PM

LoL im with ya zinc. but if you ever go to a racing track that method is not quick enough. heel toe is the correct way to do it but I cant fit my foot in there either.

zinc02GT · March 11th, 2008, 10:10 PM
