がつく
をつける

を砕く
が砕ける

く verbs seem to just be randomly transitive or intransitive.

I'd would greatly appreciate any information on this subject.

You are correct. There are no patterns that will enable you to reliably predict whether a given verb is transitive or intransitive. All you can do is learn each one separately.
