CAN slip, sure. DOES 'slip', a tiny bit, i.e. the flywheel and pressure plate do not maintain perfect 1:1 rotation, under certain circumstances, when the operator would otherwise assume that it was not slipping, sure. But *always* slipping? I don't buy it.
I did say always. I did however correct myself and have since changed it to "under certain circumstances".

I sometimes type quicker than I think. Sorry for the confusion...
