hi bojan,
i;ve seen this concept in a few pics, but how are these plates arranged on the shaft?
does one rotate freely on the shaft while the other is fixed to the shaft? if so, one plate would need to move axially to contact the other plate, then how is the drive train or worm kept engaged. is a cantilever used for the axial movement

had a look at the eq6 assembly here. is the thin teflon washer acting as the clutch plate?
