Golf has totally different clutch grab properties launching vs starting. I have no Idea why.

Launching there is a WIDE range of Slip, Starting (engine) there is about 1/4" of slip, and if you try and release the clutch linearly without slowing at that point you will chirp the tires. lol


Check your belt. if you want to be totally ghetto you can put some valve grinding compound on it, but that will wear it (and your pulley) out quickly. <- Used car salesmen trick.

if your are not comfortable with this, put it on the shelf until you feel that you are ready to try again.
