A friction surface clutch () for use in motor vehicles is provided. The friction surface clutch includes a first tapered element having a first friction surface and a second tapered element having a second friction surface, along with an actuating device having an actuating element for force-locked connection and disconnection of the tapered elements. The actuating device includes a pressure element coupled to the actuating element and a lever device interacting with the first tapered element. The first tapered element has a guide part in which the pressure element can be guided in a torsion-resistant way relative to the first tapered element prior to reaching a wear limit of the friction surfaces and can be engaged with the lever device to disconnect the force-locked connection. The pressure element can be detached from the guide part when the wear limit of the friction surfaces is reached.
