You can google it for images. But I know for a fact because I purchased one last Christmas for my partner.

My first thought was clutch, when I google it, in order to have 1 reference in my explanation, Goggle gave me more hits in the images when I used the word clutche, as opposed to when I used clutch and only car parts appeared.



I have done a bit more research and I've come to the conclusion that even if the link I have shows a clutch with an "e" in the end, in the Oxford Dictionary, the word has no final "e".

I have also looked at the website where I purchased the clutch last year and it also uses the word without the final "e".

I could wager a guess at why the hits were greater with the final "e". Goggle gives you hits of pages where the letters you've placed in the search box appear, even if those letters form just part of the word. What I mean is that Goggle showed me more pages with pictures of clutches because clutche is clutches without the final "s". And it stopped showing car parts because clutch as a car part is more used in the singular. I'm I making any sense?
