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