It comes with the clutch. You can replace just the clutch if there is no oil on the clutch. 99% of the time when this happens the basket drive goes bad and leaks oil down onto the clutch that's why you replace both. You can buy the basket drive with the clutch assembly. See link below. Basket Drive & Clutch Link Appliance Repair Portland
