Understanding the SBC SD1-2301R-12 Clutch Kit
Our clutch kit is available in two distinct variants to cater to different performance requirements and driving styles. Each variant is crafted with precision and care, ensuring that it meets the high standards set by South Bend Clutch.
Organic / Stage 1 / Daily Plus
The Organic, Stage 1, Daily Plus variant of the SBC SD1-2301R-12 Clutch Kit is designed for drivers who require a reliable and durable upgrade over their stock clutch system without sacrificing drivability. Featuring an organic friction material, this clutch offers smooth engagement and is suitable for daily driving conditions. This option is perfect for those who seek enhanced performance without compromising on comfort or longevity. The full-face disc style, coupled with a diaphragm pressure plate, ensures a consistent and comfortable driving experience.
Kevlar / Stage 2 / Sport
For those who demand more from their vehicle, the Kevlar, Stage 2, Sport variant offers a significant upgrade in performance.

This stage 2 clutch is designed to handle increased torque over the stage 1 variant, offering improved power delivery and durability. Similar to the stage 1 variant, it features a full-face disc and a diaphragm pressure plate but is engineered to withstand the rigors of sportier driving styles.
