I think it's a non-issue for the most part. The torque isn't really "over a
range" - it's different for different clutch gears, but for any *single* clutch
gear it's pretty constant. After all, if it has a point at which it starts
slipping, it will always slip at that point: if it doesn't, it continues to
rotate until that "weak point" is aligned and starts allowing it to slip. The
few times I've used this, I've really never had a problem with the "stick-slip"
behavior, but I don't think that behavior is why there is a range printed o the
piece. For the internals, take a look here:
