Um, no.

Friction creates heat. Whenever the clutch engages and disengages it creates friction between two surfaces being slowly (or occasionally rapidly, eh Ebbs?) moved together or apart. That generates heat. Not as much heat as if the plates are worn out and they slip, but it still generates heat.
