A coasting clutch and a gear system with a coasting clutch include mutually facing first and second clutch members. The coasting clutch is arranged to operate in an engaged position, wherein the first and second clutch members are axially in mesh and rotating with the same speed, or overrunning and rotating with different speeds. The coasting clutch includes a coasting mechanism arranged to operate the coasting clutch into a coasting position when the clutch is overrunning. In the coasting position, the first and second clutch members are axially arranged further from each other than in the engaged position.
