A clutch unit, comprising:

• at least one friction clutch;
• a housing having a rear side and a front side;
• at least one pressure plate connected to the housing for conjoint rotation with the housing and axially movable to a limited extent;
• a counterpressure plate which is connectable to the housing;
• a plurality of lever elements having radially inner lever tips, the lever elements being annularly arranged between the housing and the pressure plate, the pressure plate and the lever elements being subjected to a load at the radially inner lever tips to close the friction clutch;
• and
• a transport lock having catch arms and catch hooks, the catch arms each having a first end mounted to the lever elements so as to extend axially in a direction of the counterpressure plate from the lever elements, and the catch hooks being arranged at a second end of each of the catch arms so as to extend laterally in a first direction and in a second direction from the second end of the catch arms, the catch arms being movable with the lever elements in a first direction and in a second direction and the lever tips being secured axially, in a non-installed state, by the catch hooks, the catch hooks being configured and arranged to engage axially with the rear side of the housing so that the catch hooks are supported on the rear side of the housing.
