Ingxenye esebenzayo kanye nengxenye eqhutshwayo ye-clutch kancane kancane ihileleka ukungqubuzana phakathi kwezindawo zokuthintana, noma ngokusebenzisa uketshezi njengendlela yokudlulisela (i-hydraulic coupling), noma ngokusebenzisa idrayivu kazibuthe (i-electromagnetic clutch), ukuze izingxenye ezimbili zikwazi ukusho komunye nomunye ngesikhathi sokudlulisa.
Njengamanje, i-friction clutch ene-spring compression isetshenziswa kakhulu ezimotweni (okubizwa ngokuthi i-friction clutch). I-torque ekhishwa injini idluliselwa kudiski eshayelwa ngokungqubuzana phakathi kwe-flywheel kanye nendawo yokuxhumana yediski yokucindezela kanye nediski eshayelwayo. Lapho umshayeli ecindezela i-clutch pedal, indawo enkulu yokugcina i-diaphragm spring ishayela i-pressure disc ihlehle ngokudluliswa kwengxenye. Ingxenye eshayelwayo ihlukaniswa nengxenye esebenzayo.
