No, clutch type don't slip until differentiating torque overcomes lockup torque. Lockup torque which starts at breakaway torque and increases with applied torque.

Torsens DO slip, if they didn't they wouldn't be in OEM applications. The whole idea is that they slip and act like an open diff under low load, and progressively lock up with applied torque.
