Our SBC Clutch Kit stands out in the market for several reasons. Firstly, the inclusion of various friction materials across our different variants – Organic, Ceramic, and Kevlar – allows you to choose the perfect clutch based on your vehicle's requirements and your driving habits. The Organic option is ideal for those seeking a balance between performance and durability for everyday driving. The Ceramic variant, on the other hand, is tailored for those who demand extreme performance and can handle the rigorous conditions of racing and heavy towing. Lastly, the Kevlar option offers unmatched durability and is perfect for sport applications where strength and longevity are paramount.
Moreover, the South Bend Clutch Kit is designed with both Stage 1 and Stage 2 options. The Stage 1 kit is perfect for vehicles that require a slight upgrade over the OEM clutch, offering enhanced drivability without sacrificing comfort.

This versatility ensures that regardless of your Jeep's application, there's a South Bend Clutch kit that's tailored to your needs.
Another significant advantage of our clutch kits is the inclusion of key components that make installation straightforward and ensure a complete upgrade. Each kit comes with a high-quality throw-out bearing, an alignment tool, and a pilot bushing made of durable bronze. These inclusions not only facilitate a smooth installation process but also contribute to the overall performance and longevity of the clutch system. It's important to note that while our kits are comprehensive, they do not include flywheels, allowing customers the flexibility to choose their preferred option or use their existing flywheel if it is in good condition.
The clutch disc styles available – Full Face for a smooth engagement and 6-paddle for those requiring a more aggressive engagement – further illustrate our commitment to providing options that cater to a wide range of driving styles and conditions. Additionally, our clutches are designed with a sprung hub style, which aids in reducing drivetrain shock and ensures a more comfortable driving experience, even under more demanding conditions.
