- Ceramic provides high heat tolerance and immense friction for maximum power transfer, perfect for extreme applications.
- Organic compounds offer smoother engagement and are well-suited for street performance and daily driving.
- Kevlar features a blend of durability and smooth engagement, ideal for sporty driving and moderate performance upgrades.
Our Stage 2 clutch kits are tailored for vehicles that have surpassed the power outputs of stock configurations. They are designed to handle increased torque while maintaining a comfortable driving experience. The full-face disc style ensures consistent contact and distribution of pressure, enhancing the clutch's lifespan and reliability. Furthermore, our clutches are manufactured with a solid hub style, which contributes to the robustness and performance consistency of the clutch assembly.
Unlike many aftermarket clutch options, South Bend Clutch kits do not include a flywheel, allowing customers the flexibility to choose a flywheel that best suits their specific needs and preferences. This optionality ensures that you can tailor your drivetrain setup to achieve the perfect balance between performance and drivability.
Installation and Compatibility
Installation of a South Bend Clutch kit in your BMW M3 is designed to be straightforward for those with mechanical expertise. The kit includes a throw-out bearing, an alignment tool, and a pilot bushing - everything needed to ensure a proper and hassle-free installation. While we highly recommend professional installation to guarantee optimal performance and longevity, our comprehensive inclusion of necessary components simplifies the process for those who prefer to install the clutch themselves.
Compatibility with the TREMEC T5 transmission and the OEM Dual Mass flywheel specifications of the BMW M3 ensures that our clutch kits integrate seamlessly with your vehicle's drivetrain. This compatibility is crucial for maintaining the refined driving experience expected of a vehicle of the M3's caliber, without compromising on performance enhancements.
