The diesel truck segment, particularly those equipped with the ZF S6-650 transmission, requires clutches that can handle extreme conditions without compromising on the driving experience. Our clutch kits are designed with this very requirement in mind, ensuring that whether you're towing heavy loads or seeking an improved driving experience, our clutches deliver. The 2003-2007 Ford F-Series trucks, including the F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550, along with the 2008-2009 F-250 and F-350 models, are well-known for their solid performance and reliability.

Our Stage 3 clutch kits are particularly crafted for those who demand the best in performance without sacrificing the vehicle's drivability.
Key Features and Benefits
One of the standout features of the South Bend Clutch kit is the dual-disc design. This design allows for a significant increase in clutch surface area, leading to better heat dissipation, increased torque capacity, and enhanced longevity. The dual-disc setup is crucial for diesel trucks that are often subjected to high-load conditions such as towing or off-road use. By distributing the friction over a larger area, the clutch not only performs better but also lasts longer.
The inclusion of both Organic and Organic/Ceramic friction materials in our clutch kits allows for a custom-tailored driving experience. Organic material offers a softer engagement, making it ideal for daily driving conditions where smoothness and comfort are priorities. On the other hand, the Organic/Ceramic combination provides a firmer engagement and increased resistance to heat, making it perfect for more demanding applications such as heavy towing or performance driving.
Our clutches also come with a modified diaphragm pressure plate, which provides a higher clamping force without a significant increase in pedal effort. This means you get the performance benefits of a racing clutch with the comfort of a street clutch. The sprung hub design further enhances this by offering additional protection to the drivetrain from shock loads and vibrations.
Moreover, our clutch kits are comprehensive, including not just the clutch disc and pressure plate, but also a new flywheel, throw-out bearing, alignment tool, and pilot bushing. The inclusion of a new flywheel is particularly noteworthy as it ensures a perfect mating surface for the clutch, free from wear or imperfections that could affect performance. This comprehensive approach ensures that you have everything needed for a successful installation, providing an all-in-one solution to upgrading your truck's drivetrain.
