Simple. You come up to the car in front of you and stop. When it has moved up the hill 20-30 feet, give it a bit of gas, let the clutch out completely, and creep up behind it. Stop again if nec.
Stop, go, repeat.
Never use the clutch to hold you from rolling back on a hill, and don't ride the clutch to creep up a hill when traffic is going too slow for first. Granted, the 86 is light enough that it probably isn't too big of a deal, but it is never a good idea with a sporty/grabby clutch. Admittedly, I have used the clutch on my Xterra to creep up a hill, but it is a much heavier SUV/truck clutch; and it also has over 150K on it and I am starting to feel like I have got my money's worth. I can't do it in my Audi though; the S4 clutch is way to grabby. Trying to ride it up a hill would just ruin it. Quickly.
