Ikhithi ye-clutch evamile inezingxenye ezine: i-pink separation ephethe i-shaft yokufaka, ipuleti lokucindezela eliphuzi elikhanyayo nelincane elihlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ipuleti le-friction eliwolintshi, kanye ne-flywheel ewugqinsi.
Lapho i-clutch pedal ikhululwa, isiphethu sensimbi ku-pressure plate sinikeza ingcindezi exhuma i-friction plate ku-flywheel futhi idlulise amandla. Lapho i-clutch pedal icindezelwa phansi, i-pressure plate iyashintsha, i-friction plate iyahlukana ne-flywheel, futhi amandla enjini aphumayo ame ku-flywheel.
