1. A clutch for a motor vehicle, preferably for engaging and disengaging a drive train for all-wheel drive vehicles, comprising a first shaft, a second shaft arranged coaxially to the first shaft along an axis, a clutch sleeve extending axially between a first end and a second end, wherein the clutch sleeve defines a circumferential groove presenting a ramp adjacent to the first end, and wherein the clutch sleeve is moveable in the axial direction relative to the first shaft and the second shaft, and wherein the clutch sleeve can cause a form-fit coupling or decoupling of the first shaft and the second shaft, and a coil which can be powered and is disposed axially adjacent to the second end of the clutch sleeve and axially spaced from the groove, wherein a plurality of engagement bodies is connected rotationally fixedly to the first shaft, wherein the coil which can be powered is arranged coaxially to the axial direction, wherein by powering the coil, the clutch sleeve can be moved in the axial direction, wherein by moving the clutch sleeve in the axial direction, the ramp of the groove radially presses the engagement bodies into a plurality of receivers extending axially along the second shaft to radially couple the first shaft and the second shaft.
