Apparently there are normal clutches and a couple of other types, slipper clutches (designed to limit engine braking and stop rear tyre skidding, these have ramps that lift plates against normal spring pressure to limit friction when clutch is being driven the wrong way ) and slip assist clutches which have lighter springs and lever action but have 'ramps' within clutch mechanism that increase the pressure on plates when accelerating ( when engine is driving clutch ).
