Running tool and tubular coupled with a clutch that is impact resistant and/or reduces flow erosion

A method of deploying a liner assembly in a well, comprising:

• providing a liner assembly, the liner assembly including a liner and a tubular connected on top of the liner, the tubular having a bottom end that provides a connection and a top end that is free, the top end of the tubular including fingers extending upward and a solid, cylindrical wall extending upward, wherein the solid, cylindrical wall surrounds the fingers and is attached to the fingers;
• providing a running tool connected to a drill string, the running tool including an outer surface having fingers;
• coupling the liner assembly to the running tool by mating the fingers of the running tool with the fingers of the liner assembly;
• lowering the liner assembly and the running tool in the well;
• applying torque to the drill string to rotate the liner;
• and
• transmitting the torque through the fingers of the running tool and the fingers of the liner assembly to the liner.
