Dont drive it unless you absolutly have to. Avoid changing gear as much, no traffic light grand prix's.

It's not that hard, I drove the GTi around for 3 weeks with no clutch when the thrust bearing went through the pressure plate, was a b***h to parallel park though, and I dont think I did the starter motor any good.

It will engage a gear at a certain rev point.

Lift off the throttle, pull it in to neutral put your foot on the throttle for a second or 2 to bring the revs back up and then select the gear.

You can do it now to save using the clutch for gear changes.

-Avoid hard launches,
-avoid bogging down your car (e.g. trying to pull from 30mph in 5th),
-try where possible no to park facing uphill,
-try to limit the weight you're carrying in your car,
-try to avoid full throttle (not sure whether your 206 is a diesel or petrol 1.6, but this is particularly the case in a diesel where peak torque will be more than enough to rumble the standard clutch!)
