Curious as to 'what they define as a slip clutch'
Motor is mounted to gear box. Has a pin in motor shaft that engages drive gear on gear box.
Drive gear (small diameter) engages larger driven gear which drives output shaft.
Output shaft drives bevel gear which drives another bevel gear that is connected to shaft which turns inside a fixed nut.
All gears/shear pins in assembly.......
Statement in manual doesn't mean squat.
Look at the diagrams of leg assembly/the gear box assembly/motor assembly OR tear one down for rebuild. No clutch....slip or otherwise
The clicking noise is the small drive bevel gear jumping teeth on the large driven bevel gear.
