Abstract
A clutch unit () including at least one wet clutch () and a torsional vibration damper () which are accommodated in a housing () driven by the drive unit. In order to simplify assembly, pre-assembled modular units () are formed that are joined together during the final assembly process. Advantageously, a separation point is provided between two modular units in the torsional vibration damper, wherein one modular unit () includes the energy accumulators () captively accommodated in a housing part (), while the other modular unit () includes the output part of the torsional vibration damper as an input part () of the at least one wet clutch.
