Warranty Applies Only to Purchases From Authorized Dealers
If a South Bend Clutch product is bought anywhere else, we cannot verify its origin, handling, or authenticity, and no warranty coverage applies — even if the part is genuine and the receipt is real.
Amazon currently sells our products below MAP price and is not an authorized dealer. Either of those voids coverage on its own, so anything bought from Amazon directly carries no warranty. An authorized South Bend Clutch dealer selling on Amazon at MAP price is covered — check the seller name against our dealer locator before you buy, there or anywhere else.
