well my Celica is a 94 ST coupe AT. I am reading up more on manuals, and what not, and I keep finding this "heel & toe" shifting. Can someone explain that to me?
stupid question but someone help me out! - 6G Celicas Forums

This type of shift technique mainly applies to drifting, but is also applied in other types of racing.

That is cool link. But, that technique is used for road racing or other competition driving as well as autoX. In drifting you want to use more left foot braking. That is how you keep the boost up and thats how you control car little better in slide. I think....
Hell toe shifting is pretty irrelevant in this situation... You're an automatic!!
...so thats what its called. cool
Heheh... funny topic... AT... hehe. Anyways... it's just a rev matching technique for downshifts to smoothen transition more or less. Is often used in most any race situation that requires a downshift. As for left foot braking... only useful for FWD cars to help tuck-in to corners... but if you don't know what you're doing... it'll just slow you down.
