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.

#12: Re: clutch slip Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Wed May 16, 2012 8:11 am ---- 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.
#13: Re: clutch slip Author: Adam2061994, Location: WrexhamPosted: Wed May 16, 2012 8:13 am ---- is that when i have no clutch?
#14: Re: clutch slip Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Wed May 16, 2012 8:19 am ---- You can do it now to save using the clutch for gear changes.

-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!)
