Yes, but a friction based clutch is what I assume to be the thing most people think of as a wear item.Dog teeth that are engaged or not fit the definition of a "clutch" to a "T". That is a "real" clutch because a clutch is used to engage or disengage power transmission. It's a mistake to think a clutch needs to have progressive engagement/disengagement to be a "real" clutch.
Enganging a synchronized, torqueless gear-ring is in a whole different league of wear and tear
