Another question: how would heel and toe save wear and tear on clutch and drivetrain compared with clutch-in? I thought by clutching in, the flywheel and clutch are not touching or grinding, it probably save the wear on clutch rather than trying to rev-matching by down-shifting and grinding the clutch.
Actually, if you shift to neutral during braking and determine the gear that you need to shift based on situation, wouldn't that be saving the clutch even more? Although I admit that choosing the right gear in this situation requires experience and it is different from car to car.
