A release slide is or can be connected to a stored-energy element of the clutch assembly for executing a release movement, and at least one brake element can move along with the release slide during the execution of a release movement, which brake element can be brought into braking interaction with a counter-braking element, which is or can be connected in essentially nonrotatable fashion to a clutch output shaft, where the minimum of one brake element can shift position relative to the release slide at least to compensate for the wear which occurs in the area of the clutch assembly. A latching arrangement includes a set of latching teeth on either the release slide or on the brake element, and a latching element on the other of the brake element and the release slide. The latching arrangement allows relative motion between the release slide and the brake element when wear occurs, but allows essentially no relative motion between the release slide and the brake element when the release slide moves in the release direction and a braking interaction occurs between the minimum of one brake element and the counter-braking element.
