I push in the clutch and let go of the gas and shift and then I let out the clutch while pushing down on the gas. They are not both on the pedals at the same time. When I downshift, I have my foot on the gas. I push in the clutch give it some gas to get the engine speed up while I downshift and then I let the clutch out and let it wind down. That's when I'm downshifting to brake. When I'm downshifting to accelerate, once again I have one foot at the gas and one foot at the clutch but neither foot is anywhere near the brake pedal, and when one is pushed down the other one is up in the air. That last one I agree with, although occasionally that left foot is going up and down real fast as I'm going down through all the gears 5th to 4th to 3rd to 2nd to 1st. 1 Quote

The next one means someone in front of you messed up. Quote

The next one means someone in front of you messed up. I know about heel and toe, although I learned it with the heel on the brake and the toe on the gas, but that's for racing. In 50 years of driving I've never used it in normal street driving. 1 Quote
