That raises the question: "How do you test a slip clutch to determine that it will slip when it needs to?" Does the factory have a pre-determined setting, or does someone just assemble the clutch and let someone else worry about it?
A clutch that has not slipped on occasion has a much higher "break away" force than a clutch that has slipped on occasion. If the clutch has friction plates, they can weld themselves together over time and become a solid connection. Metal-to-metal can rust and raise the break away point.
