Operational Manual #1 - Shift Quicker

[RENESIS VIII]

master renesis can teach me heel and toe too?

One fine day. Or can just learn from Tom's video.

Left foot braker then. ;-)

You and your livina, hahaha

heel toe for normal driving need? is this racing?

Not necessarily for racing only. It is for smoother downshifting while braking at the same time.

Btw Tom, would be good also if you post your video driving cars with floating pedals so people can see if there's any differences for H&T when driving floor mounted and floating pedals.

@Tom what happened at 3:03? Miss-shifted?

So basically the quick upshift is clutch in, accel off, gear in, clutch off and accel on really quickly?

Interesting. What do people like me who can't twist my foot to do a heel-toe? Not on my current car anyway, I need the chair to be lower to HT

use ball of the right foot for brake, then roll to press throttle. My feet is too big to do kungfu heel toe like tom did.

I can't twist my leg like that unless I'm seated lower and legs are almost straight. Made a mistake of working out thigh muscles and all the last time so I'm not exactly flexible. What you're saying is slide from back pedal to throttle right? I can do that with certain shoes. Unfortunately I'm not either big nor small nor flexible. Bloody inbetween.

Even though method is different, as long as the end result is same where you are able to do brake and rev match at the same time.

Good topic, I'm pretty rusty too now driving manual after been driving AT for over 7 years now! (and anyway I'm not so good to begin with!)

Btw for me it seems it's my left hand that's not fast enough to shift following disengagement of the clutch from the left foot. I think so far in about 2 months driving my son's manual Swift, there were like 3 times I missed gear coz my left foot already released the clutch while my left hand was a split second late hence failed to engage up shift.

Good to know, well if your problem is not the legs but with the hand, it's easy to fix. In this case you can even practice without being in the car. Basically you just need to time tour hand to move just as the leg start and you'll be closer to the goal already
