The 1972-1973 Volkswagen Campmobile, with its 1.7L gas engine, represents a classic staple in automotive history, known for its unique blend of practicality and adventure.

South Bend Clutch has risen to this challenge by developing a clutch kit that not only meets but surpasses the OEM specifications, ensuring that your Campmobile runs smoother and more efficiently than ever before.
Our clutch kits are available in three distinct variants – Organic, Ceramic, and Kevlar – each designed to cater to different driving demands and preferences. The Organic option is perfect for drivers looking for a Stage 1 upgrade that offers smooth engagement and improved durability for daily driving conditions. The Ceramic variant, also a Stage 1 upgrade, is tailored for those who demand extreme performance with higher heat resistance, perfect for more aggressive driving styles. Lastly, the Kevlar option elevates your vehicle to a Stage 2 performance level, offering unmatched strength and longevity for sporty applications.
Each of these variants comes with features that underscore South Bend Clutch's dedication to quality:
- Single Clutch Disc Quantity: Ensures a direct replacement fit and optimal performance, making the installation process straightforward and hassle-free.
