Message	Slipping the clutch means that you are partially engaging it so that there is contact, but the flywheel can still turn at a different speed. An example is riding your brakes. Try driving your car and use your left foot to slightly depress the brake pedal. You will start to feel the brakes drag on the rotors, and the car will start to slow down. Now continue to depress the throttle, and you can keep a constant speed or even accelerate even though you are using your brakes. Obviously, this is not good for the brakes, and will result in a buildup of heat and accelerated wear on the brake pads. So why do this with a clutch? Simple: in order to build boost, you need some load on the engine. Simply revving the engine with the tranny in neutral or the clutch disengaged will not create boost. By slipping the clutch, you produce some load on the engine and can therefore create boost while the car is still not moving, which will help with acceleration. Obviously, this is very hard on the clutch and a normal one will not take this abuse for very long. Charles Carbon Black '95 TT Stg III '02 Honda CR-V "Bustermobile"
