Title: Clutch control

Those seem like mickey mouse "crutches" to me. Regular clutches are not designed to be slipped, proper slipper style sintered iron clutches are readily available, and are designed for controlled and adjustable amounts of clutch slippage. Using the wrong clutch, and trying to bandaid a bad choice seems counterproductive to just using the correct components to start with.
