The height of the clutch pack, affects where the axle gear is relative to the spider gears. In other words, the depth of the teeth engagement, which would impact the backlash. Some people talk about using the backlash of the spider gear to judge if the clutches have the right shims.
It stands to reason, that if the gears were too tight (not enough backlash), the thrust from the spiders could lock up the clutches with very little torque applied. So the torque to slip the clutches via the spring pressure, may not be the only or most important parameter.
