I have read to soak the clutches in oil with the slip modifier already added. Others say to soak them in pure additive. Maybe somewhere in the middle like a 50/50 mix of additive and oil, would be a good compromise of the two opinions?

One write up I read said that the springs only provide a small clamping force for when you are turning corners, when the clutches need to slip. The spider gears are supposed to push much harder on the clutch pack, when torque is applied. They claim that torque is what locks the clutches up. Therefore increasing the spring pressure only causes the clutches to wear out quicker, drive-ability issues, and does little to improve performance.
