Clutch Kits

About

Clutch Kits South Bend Clutch kits are engineered as complete systems—disc, pressure plate, hub damping, and flywheel interface—so you get predictable engagement, consistent torque capacity, and clean release in the conditions you actually drive. This collection brings together our full range of single disc and dual disc clutch kits, from daily-driver organic facings to hybrid organic/Kevlar and organic/feramic pairings for towing, off-road, and high-output street builds. Every South Bend Clutch kit is matched to a platform and use case: diesel trucks like Cummins, Power Stroke, and Duramax; domestic passenger cars and American muscle; LS/T56, TR6060, and Magnum applications; European performance platforms; Jeep, off-road, and 4x4; sport compact; and VW/Audi. If you’re searching for a clutch that holds torque without sacrificing drivability, this is where you’ll find it. Material science sits at the heart of every SBC clutch kit. Organic facings deliver the smoothest engagement and quietest operation for daily use. Ceramic blends add bite and heat resistance for tuned power levels and repeated high-energy events. Kevlar is renowned for outstanding wear stability and flywheel friendliness when properly bedded. Feramic brings exceptional thermal resilience for heavy towing, long grades, and track abuse. We pair compounds with full-face or segmented facings to balance initial bite, heat shedding, and even load distribution across the disc, then tune the marcel (cushion) and groove geometry to widen the engagement window and move heat away from the contact patch. The result is a kit that behaves like an OE-quality street clutch when you want finesse, with the reserve you need when torque and temperature rise. Clamp strategy and release characteristics define pedal feel and shift quality, so our pressure plates are re-arched and fulcrum-optimized to deliver clamp where it counts without turning the pedal into an on/off switch. Balanced rotating groups keep the system smo
