Correct answer
Take your foot off the clutch pedal when it does not need to be operated.
Remove your foot from the pedal when it need not be operated. Keeping pressure on the pedal can cause partial operation, slipping or wear of clutch components. Not every slight contact necessarily causes slipping, but the habit should be avoided. Use the clutch according to manufacturer instructions and avoid habitually resting a hand on the gear lever. This recommendation does not guarantee that faults will never occur.
