A clutch suitable for automobile vehicles has a reaction plate which rotates with a first shaft, a friction disk which rotates with a second shaft and a pressure plate which rotates with the reaction plate and is movable axially relative to it. An axially acting elastic member urges the pressure plate towards the reaction plate. The elastic member bears on bearing members fastened to the reaction plate in the axial direction and is the circumferentially continuous part of a diaphragm Belleville spring. The bearing members are made from a plurality of distinct circumferentially elongate segments distributed circumferentially around the axis of the clutch. Each is individually attached to the reaction plate.
