Do you mean clutch gap as in the gap spacing between the clutchbell and the clutch shoe or do you mean end play of the clutchbell after putting together the clutchbell?

The clutch gap does not affect the way the bearings take a hit. It's the end play that is important. Try to reduce this (by putting shims between the clutch nut and bearing) and you can run large clutch gap (for more agressive clutch setting) and still save your bearings.
