The SBC SD1-2250R-12 Clutch Kit is engineered for vehicles requiring an upgrade from the factory clutch.

Key Features and Benefits
Our clutch kit comes with several key features that set it apart from the competition. These include:
High-Quality Friction Materials: Depending on the variant, our clutch kits are equipped with organic, ceramic, or Kevlar friction materials. Each material is selected for its specific performance characteristics. Organic friction materials offer smooth engagement and are well-suited for daily driving conditions. Ceramic materials provide higher heat resistance and are ideal for high-performance applications. Kevlar, known for its durability and heat resistance, offers the best of both worlds, making it suitable for both daily driving and performance uses.
Customized Performance Stages: We offer our clutch kits in different performance stages to match the specific needs of your vehicle. Stage 1 is designed for vehicles with mild modifications, providing slightly higher than stock performance without sacrificing drivability. Stage 2 is aimed at vehicles with more significant modifications, offering higher torque capacity and more aggressive engagement for spirited driving or racing applications.
Comprehensive Kit Contents: Each clutch kit includes all the necessary components for a complete and hassle-free installation. This typically includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, alignment tool, and in some cases, a pilot bushing. Our kits are designed to provide you with everything you need to upgrade your clutch without the need for additional purchases.
Durability and Reliability: South Bend Clutch is committed to producing clutches that not only perform well but also last. We use only the finest materials and manufacturing processes to ensure each component of our clutch kits stands up to the demands of the road.
Support and Warranty: We stand behind our products with a comprehensive warranty and expert support. Our team is always ready to help you choose the right clutch for your vehicle and driving needs, and we're here to assist with any questions or concerns you may have about installation or performance.
