'The clutch should be able to handle the torque; otherwise, it probably won't last long before the next breakdown. But why would someone install a gasoline engine clutch on a diesel engine? At that point, the clutch would definitely give up. Even if the torque is 20% higher, it might last for a while, but otherwise, I doubt it would last more than 5,000 km. You can even see that even new clutches that have been 'chipped' sometimes slip.'
