Inxalenye esebenzayo kunye nenxalenye eqhutywe ye-clutch iqhutywe ngokuthe ngcembe yi-friction phakathi kweendawo zoqhagamshelwano, okanye ngokusebenzisa i-liquid njenge-transmission medium (i-hydraulic coupling), okanye ngokusebenzisa i-magnetic drive (i-electromagnetic clutch), ukwenzela ukuba iinxalenye ezimbini zichazwe omnye komnye ngexesha lokudluliselwa.
Okwangoku, i-clutch ye-friction kunye ne-spring compression isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwiimoto (ezibizwa ngokuba yi-friction clutch). I-torque ekhutshwe yi-injini idluliselwa kwi-disc eqhutywe nge-friction phakathi kwe-flywheel kunye nomphezulu woqhagamshelwano wediski yoxinzelelo kunye nediski eqhutywayo. Xa umqhubi ecinezela i-pedal ye-clutch, isiphelo esikhulu se-diaphragm spring siqhuba i-disc yoxinzelelo ngasemva ngokugqithiswa kwecandelo. Indawo eqhutywayo yahlulwe kwindawo esebenzayo.
