Selected
torque transferred through a friction-type clutch
Several points:
1. Between an engine and a gearbox (Motor und Getriebe) there is a clutch.
2. There are two possible types of power transfer method used in clutches: friction and jaw (tooth).
3. Kraftschluss points us to a friction-based method of power transfer.
Therefore, we are speaking about a considerable loss of engine-generated power (torque), when it is transferred through a friction-type clutch to a gearbox.

slipping
This term covers the entire phrase of "Verlust von Kraftschluss" and not just Kraftschluss.
It is not just uphill drives that can cause this. If you search for "transmission slipping" you will get it explained in all its gory details.

: Yes, traction could be tyre related.
