I have been working hard to acclimate myself to driving a manual transmission car and have got almost everything nailed down at this point except for heal-toe downshifting. I have trouble keeping my brake pressure constant while blipping the throttle which is made worse when the pace picks up.

Do you guys have any tips on your techniques and thoughts on heal-toe? I know it just takes practice but I don't want to be practicing the wrong way and figured I would make a noob thread to ask.

Thanks!
