My Peugeot 206 engine almost shuts off while pressing the clutch?

I have a 1999 Peugeot 2006 that recently started giving the above problem with the engine. The problem does not always occur, however, sometimes when pressing the clutch the engine's rpm goes so low (well below 1000 - have seen it going as low as 200) that it either shuts off or is close to shutting off. I have taken the car to a mechanic but they weren't able to fix it. Does anybody have any hint?|||I think that your "release bearing" or "throw-out bearing" has worn down too thin, or it doesn't spin freely on the clutch shaft.


When you push in the clutch pedal, your clutch plate is not fully released from contact with the flywheel. Therefor, there is still a feeling of still being IN GEAR, and when the car is at a stop sign, it stalls, or almost stalls?





Do you have the required pedal movement from top to floor? Is it 14 cm +- 0.5cm? I don't know the proper 206 distance, but this is VERY important too, to insure clutch disengagement.





There is some resistance to the free spinning flywheel that lowers your rpms. Does your "release bearing" also make a grinding, or high pitched noise? Have you ever adjusted or replaced your old clutch cable?





The clutch has nothing to do with petrol flow, or air intake, or eletricity to lower your rpms. I'm surprised the mechanic found no problems????!!
