Wet clutch means that the pressure plate and flywheel are immersed in fluid. I think only trucks use wet clutches. Most cars are dry clutches, I think it's because you'd need a really heavy pressure plate to get adequate torque out of it (the fluid decreases the friction). I guess the advantage of a wet clutch is you can dissipate heat better and filter the fluid to keep the clutch clean.
