    Kris,

    The only physics involved is friction. Well, there is some leverage involved but it isn't necessary to consider leverage to understand how a misadjusted clutch can cause the clutch to slip.

    Here is a page with drawings and an explanation of an hydraulic clutch:

    Lever type and cable actuation are identical at the clutch/flywheel interface; where slip happens.
