SBC Clutch Kit for 1983-1989 Dodge Ram 50 2.0L Gas – Fits Other Vehicles

Overview

Our clutch kits are not only about performance but also about versatility. Whether you drive a car that is used for daily commuting, spirited street driving, or even light track use, there's an option within this kit that will meet your needs. The variants within the SBC SD1-2151R-12 Clutch Kit include options for organic, ceramic, and Kevlar friction materials, each offering unique benefits to cater to different driving conditions and performance requirements.

The organic option, known for its smoother engagement, is ideal for drivers looking for a clutch that performs well under daily driving conditions without sacrificing the comfort of the drive. The ceramic option, on the other hand, provides a more aggressive engagement and higher heat tolerance, making it suitable for drivers who demand more from their vehicles, including those participating in more extreme driving conditions. Lastly, the Kevlar option offers an excellent balance between durability and performance, with its high resistance to heat making it perfect for high-performance street applications and moderate track use.

A key aspect of the SBC SD1-2151R-12 Clutch Kit is its Stage 1 and Stage 2 variations. The Stage 1 variants are designed for vehicles with mild modifications, offering an upgrade over OEM specifications without overwhelming daily drivability. Stage 2 variants are tailored for vehicles with more significant modifications, providing the necessary holding capacity for higher horsepower and torque levels while still maintaining a manageable level of drivability for street use.

Each variant in the SBC SD1-2151R-12 Clutch Kit is equipped with a single clutch disc, utilizing a full-face disc style. This design helps in providing a smooth and consistent engagement, reducing the chances of clutch slip and improving the transmission of power to the drivetrain. Additionally, all variants feature a diaphragm pressure plate style, ensuring a strong clamping force without the need for excessive pedal pressure.

One of the most appreciated features of our clutch kits is the inclusion of a throw-out bearing in most options. This inclusion ensures that customers have most of what they need for the installation process right out of the box, simplifying the upgrade process. It is important to note, however, that while the throw-out bearing is included, the alignment tool and pilot bushing are not, allowing for customization and selection based on specific vehicle requirements.

At South Bend Clutch, we understand the importance of a reliable and high-performing clutch system, which is why we do not compromise on quality.
