because the clutch shoes are only egaged at a certain rpm ( the springs giving way to allow the shoes to contact the inside of the clutch bell) so when you start to excellerate or decellerate the is a period of time right after the clutch shoes are engaged or before they disengage when there is not fullforce being exerted by the shoes to the inside of the clutchbell, there is were you will recieve some slipage with is why you have to debur your shoes every once in a while, the rmv clutches are designed so that when it is engaged it maintains the full pressure on the inside of the clutch bell, hence no slipping, unless im confused?
