I learned manual blindfolded, and I'm a paraplegic, and I learned to rev match and heel-and-toe in about 46 seconds. Since the gearbox was ****ed, I could only drive in reverse.

Weird...My dad made me learn to drive blindfolded while a hooker sucked me off.

Google it or go to the bookstore....Jerk!

They are all used to down shift.
Double clutching is when you push the clutch in, then shift into neutral, let the clutch out, blip the throttle, push the clutch back in and put it into the lower gear. You blip the throttle so that the sycros do not do anywork, you speed up the engine to match the speed of the transmission which speed is relative to how fast you are going. You have to do this in cars with no synchos, it really is not needed in modern cars unless you are going to skip gears downshifting or you just want to for the hell of it. Double clutching also saves your clutch and makes for a smoother shift.

Rev matching is when you push the clutch in, put it in neutral, (clutch is still in) blip the throttle, and then down shift. This is used to make downshifts smoother and save your clutch. It does not decrease wear on your synchros.

Heel toes is used to brake while rev matching, I guess you could do it while double clutching too. You use your heel to blip the throttle and your toe to brake. It really helps while entering a turn.
