South Bend Clutch is renowned for its commitment to quality, innovation, and performance in the clutch industry.

Our clutch kits are engineered to enhance your driving experience by providing superior performance, durability, and reliability.
The SBC SD1-2272R-12 Clutch Kit is available in various configurations to suit a wide range of applications and driver preferences. Options include Organic, Ceramic, and Kevlar friction materials, each offering its unique benefits. Organic materials provide a softer engagement and are well-suited for daily driving conditions, offering longevity and a more stock-like feel. Ceramic materials, on the other hand, are designed for high heat tolerance and offer increased performance for more aggressive driving or racing conditions. Kevlar offers an excellent balance between the two, providing increased durability and heat resistance, making it ideal for high-performance street applications and light track use.
Each variant of our clutch kit is designed with specific usage in mind, from daily driving to extreme conditions, ensuring that there is a South Bend Clutch solution for nearly every need. Our Stage 1 options are perfect for vehicles with mild modifications or for drivers looking for a performance upgrade over stock without sacrificing drivability. The Stage 2 variants are intended for more heavily modified vehicles or for drivers who demand more from their clutch in terms of performance and capability.
All our clutch kits come with a single disc style, which is engineered to provide a balance between performance and drivability. The full-face disc design offers smooth engagement and is ideal for a wide range of driving styles, from daily commuting to spirited driving sessions. The inclusion of a sprung hub design in our clutch kits helps to reduce drivetrain shock and is suitable for both street and occasional track use.
At South Bend Clutch, we understand the importance of a complete and straightforward installation process.
