well my Celica is a 94 ST coupe AT. I am reading up more on manuals, and what not, and I keep finding this "heel & toe" shifting. Can someone explain that to me?

Heheh... funny topic... AT... hehe. Anyways... it's just a rev matching technique for downshifts to smoothen transition more or less. Is often used in most any race situation that requires a downshift. As for left foot braking... only useful for FWD cars to help tuck-in to corners... but if you don't know what you're doing... it'll just slow you down.
