With the clutch on, shifting the chain is tight moving onto the big front chainring of 52 while the rear is in certain positions, plus, to remove the wheel the clutch needs to be turned off anyhow, so I just left it off. Next ride I'll test it again. The largest practical rear is 28 on my setup.

I would suggest replacing the spring with from an XT or XTR. You can get a new spring for $5 or so. When I had too much slap and occasional thrown chain from an LX (which worked fine otherwise), I switched to an XT derailer and the problems disappeared. I assume it's mostly the chain tension
