So is that a good thing to try or not - is pre programmed clutch slip beneficial or not?
Ok, I found the info on the other forum:
Put car into reverse, before letting off brake pull and hold down paddle. After couple of secs you should get beep and/or tranny warning light on dash. Let off brake and depress accelerator to begin reversing. NOTE: minimum reverse speed will be higher! So please try first in open space with nothing to hit!
I am going to try it out later...

Not sure about it eliminating clutch slip, but what you have described is the parking mode for the original 4200. The gear display indicator flashes as well.

Haven't heard about that one! Have you tried it?
Tried the hill hold, the gear indicator flashes but doesn't do any hill holding I can feel!
Was the first gen Hill Hold not a clutch setting rather then a brake assist as it is on the GS/2005 MY coupe?
No idea. I've neither ever needed it, or noticed it!

When I first got my GS, I used to worry about the clutch too. I would always drop into N at traffic lights etc. but being a dill, half the time I would forget by the time I got a green light. Result is loud revving and no motion and feeling like a goose and sometimes rolling backwards with all this noise!
So I gave up on that and eventually gave up even worrying about the clutch. Just drive and enjoy. When the clutch dies, I'll just get a new one.
