I never learned to heel toe and when I tried for the first time the other day, I struggled mightily and also learned that I have small feet because I would miss most of the time LOL. Maybe my technique was off... but in any case, I'm going forward with getting this pedal. Thanks! |

I'm not new to stick shift cars but kind of new to heel/toe, the thing I didn't get until recently is you need to lift up your whole foot, use the ball of your foot on the brake then kind of angle out your heel and roll over onto the accel pedal. At least that's what's worked for me.

In my experience there are two main ways to heel and toe:
I used method 1 in my Focus ST, but switched to method 2 in my BRZ. |

It was really difficult on a sportbike before they started using slipper clutches. My bike years ago did not have one. Don't get it right and you lock up the rear going into a corner. |

I installed my SRP pedal cover. I have been using their wider gas pedals in most of my cars.

On my first cars, heel and toe was more double-clutch shifting. Some of my cars did not have a synchro first gear and the other gears had synchronizers that were total crap and would only work if you took your time between gears or were good at heel and toe. My later cars had full synchro gearboxes with floating synchro rings and not the press-on-the gear hub type. We affectionately call our transmissions "Crash Boxes". One time I missed a shift from second to third on my Triumph and knocked a tooth off the cluster gear. I still had a first gear if I needed it, but it went thunk, thunk, thunk. Those of you that were born after the first Moon Landing won't know of those joys.

Cleaned the ole beast. I've gotten most of the stuff done and settled, that I want to do right now, so I've been driving it around town mostly.

my feet aren't big enough for #1, I'm stuck with #2 as my only option and even then I have to lift my foot up and angle it almost 45 degrees to reach the accel pedal...but I'm a women's size 8.5
