Especially the 1x1x6 clutch which fits nicely in cramped areas. Let me suggest one 2x2x3 variant: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Legoism/Ideas/microclutch.jpg Its slip torque is 4.5 Ncm ― at least with new parts. With older ones it is down to about 3 Ncm.

I've tried this clutch in an 8-wide PF truck I made (I'll send You a link once it's online if You're interested) but on some ratios it was too weak and after some time of driving the truck (I used the clutch for the steering mechanism) it got worn out and made squeaking noise and didn't work at all. So I came up with a different clutch (and it turns out it sustains more resistance) - http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/9126/clutch.jpg - (if You use the thicker bar (there are two types, not listed in BL catalog)).
