Our clutch kits are not just about raw performance; they are about delivering a balanced experience that enhances your vehicle's drivability and longevity. The input spline, measured at 22 with an input shaft diameter of 0.97, and disc diameter of 8.88, are optimized to ensure a seamless fit and efficient power transfer from your engine to your drivetrain. Whether you are navigating the daily commute or pushing your car on a weekend track day, our clutches provide the reliability and performance you need.

The variants of the SBC SD1-2364R-12 Clutch Kit include options with different friction materials such as Organic, Ceramic, and Kevlar. The Organic variant is designed for those prioritizing smooth engagement and longevity, making it an ideal choice for daily driving conditions. The Ceramic option offers higher heat resistance and durability, perfect for drivers who demand a bit more from their vehicles, such as in racing or heavy towing scenarios. Lastly, the Kevlar option provides an excellent middle ground with enhanced durability over organic materials while still maintaining a relatively smooth engagement, suitable for sport driving and high-performance applications.

Each variant is also distinguished by its stage – Stage 1 or Stage 2 – and usage level, such as Daily Plus or Extreme, allowing you to select a clutch that matches not just your vehicle but also your driving intensity. With single disc styles across the board, our focus remains on providing a balance between performance and drivability. This ensures that while you benefit from high torque capacities and improved power handling, you do not have to compromise on the comfort and control of your driving experience.

The inclusion of essential components such as the throw-out bearing, alignment tool, and pilot bushing in steel, further underscores our commitment to providing a comprehensive solution that facilitates a hassle-free installation process. While the clutch kits do not include a flywheel, this offers the flexibility to choose a flywheel that best suits your specific needs and preferences, allowing for a more customized setup.
