South Bend Clutch Street Dual Disk Kit with Flywheel, Dodge (1994-04) 5.9L 2500-3500 NV4500 & Non-HO NV5600, 650hp & 1300 ft lbs of torque

South Bend Clutch heard the call for the organic dual disc clutch but wanted to offer the best in both durability and drive-ability. How do they achieve that? In their 50 years of experience we knew that running an all organic dual disc would have it’s problems. The intermediate (center) plate is approximately 0.5” thick whereas the pressure plate and flywheel castings are three times that. Running two friction surfaces on one thin casting will increase the temperature to that casting. Organic burn point is approximately 550 degrees whereas ceramic can reach 1100 degrees. The immediate engagement points when the clutch is released for takeoff are the outside points of a dual disc clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. Being that there is only one friction surface running to these two points, and the fact that the pressure plate and flywheel castings are much thicker than the center plate, the temperatures cannot reach that of the center plate. This is why organic will work to the pressure plate and flywheel and not to the center plate.

-The South Bend Clutch 13” diaphragm style 3250 lb. pressure plate offers maximum holding power with easy pedal effort.
-The one of a kind dampened center plate was designed to eliminate rattle when clutch is released.
-The ceramic buttons facing the center plate will increase the holding power as well as increase the temperature capabilities to the intermediate plate.
-Clutch discs are a dampened free travel design similar to the semi clutch to help reduce gear roll- over.
