i think sassy is right, from what my mate told me about his paddle clutch in his mitsi gto it was a right cnut driving in traffic, but sweet as a nut otherwise.
its like on/off rather than biting point etc

A normal clutch has an organic based circular centre plate and road biased spring pressure in the cover for traffic friendly usage i.e. a light pedal.
A paddle clutch has rounded square/oblong pads of sintered bronze material aranged in a starfish pattern in combination with a much higher clamping force from the cover.
The net result being no slippage under high torque loads, but a much heavier pedal and an on/off switch type of operation.
