"Heel-and-toeings" refers to the technique of downshifting a manual transmission vehicle while simultaneously blipping the throttle to match the engine speed to the road speed. This method helps to ensure a smoother and more controlled downshift, particularly when driving aggressively or on a race track. Synonyms for this term may include "rev-matching," "double-clutching," or "heel-toe shifting." In addition to being useful for racers, these techniques can improve overall driving skills and help extend the life of the vehicle's drivetrain. It's important to practice and perfect these techniques to become a proficient and confident driver on the road.
