A clutch apparatus for a vehicle drive train for transmitting torque between the vehicle's engine and gearbox. Three interoperative clutch members are provided. The clutch members cooperate with clutch plates, a pressure-receiving plate, a clutch pressure plate, clutch pressure springs, and a setting device between the second and the third clutch members, for setting a back torque between the third and first clutch members by an axial displacement of the third clutch member relative to the second clutch member. The setting device has two ring elements, which are rotatable n relation to each other, with ramp segments, and having balls arranged between the ramp segments; the ramp segments have regions with ball that rise or slope in opposite directions in such a way that when the ring elements rotate in the same direction, the distance between the ramp segments is smaller than when the ring elements rotate in opposite directions.
