A clutch assembly (10) and a process for the assembly, the / for the transmission of torque between a first shaft (12) and a second shaft (14) by means of a set of inner coupling plates (16) and a set of outer coupling plates (18) are operable, can have a separating device (28) for the outer plates and / or a separating device (30) for the inner plates comprise. The separating device (28) for the outer sheets can be radially inwardly to the outer coupling plates (18) for axially separating each of the outer coupling plates (18) and be prestressed by a centrifugal force radially outwardly from the outer coupling plates (18) be moved away, when the clutch assembly (10) rotates above a predetermined speed threshold value. The separating device (30) for the inner plates is, for axially separating each of the inner coupling plates (16) and biased radially outward by an axial movement of a hydraulically actuated said wedge member (31) radially inwardly from the inner coupling plates (16) can be moved away, when the clutch assembly (10) is engaged.
