Sorry to burst your bubble Gal, but it actually DOES wear your clutch some. When you depress your clutch pedal, it DOES release the clutch disc, but since the engine is still spinning the flywheel, and the clutch disc is still in contact with, but not holding, it still does cause a small amount of wear. Read that as SMALL AMOUNT. Insignificant? maybe, but with the pattern of drivers I have met, most of those who hold in their clutches tend to replace them sooner than those that don't hold them.
