An output area (3) is mounted on a gearbox input shaft to rotate with it, and a drive area (2) is mounted on and concentric with the output area to rotate freely relative to the output area (3). Several input clutch plates (20) contact the drive area to rotate with same and several output clutch plates (21) contact output area to rotate with same. Each output clutch plate is mounted between two adjoining input plates. The clutch operating element (26) is on the output area and the output and input plates are mounted between the clutch operating element and a section of the output area. The operating element is integral with a pressure plate area (26b) and a lever area (26a). A pressure element (28) pretensions the pressure plate area towards the area of the output element.
