At South Bend Clutch, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality clutch solutions that meet the diverse needs of our customers. The SBC SD2-2639R-12 Clutch Kit is a prime example of our commitment to excellence and innovation in the field of clutch technology. Designed for vehicles running on gas, with a specific focus on enhancing the driving experience, this clutch kit stands out for its meticulous engineering and robust construction.
The heart of this clutch kit lies in its organic friction material. Organic clutches are renowned for their ability to provide smooth engagement and enhanced drivability, making them an ideal choice for daily drivers that may occasionally partake in more spirited driving sessions. The organic material used in the SBC SD2-2639R-12 Clutch Kit is specially formulated to offer a balance between performance and longevity, ensuring that drivers enjoy a responsive yet durable clutch system.
Stage 2 of our clutch kits signifies a significant step up from the standard OEM specifications, offering improved torque capacity without sacrificing the quality of the driving experience. The SBC SD2-2639R-12 Clutch Kit, being a Stage 2 clutch, is designed for vehicles that have surpassed their factory power outputs, requiring a clutch that can handle more power and abuse. Whether it's for street performance or occasional track use, this clutch kit provides the reliability and performance necessary to handle increased power levels efficiently.
The inclusion of a single disc in this kit, with its full face design, is a deliberate choice aimed at ensuring optimal contact with the flywheel. This design choice not only maximizes the surface area for power transmission but also contributes to the smooth engagement characteristics of the clutch. The full face disc is particularly beneficial in reducing chatter and improving the overall drivability of the vehicle.
A key feature of the SBC SD2-2639R-12 Clutch Kit is its sprung hub design. The sprung hub plays a crucial role in dampening the torsional vibrations between the engine and the transmission, providing a buffer that protects the drivetrain components from shock loads and reduces gear rattle. This feature is particularly important for vehicles that are used daily, ensuring a quieter and more comfortable driving experience.
Durability and ease of maintenance are further enhanced by the inclusion of a diaphragm-style pressure plate. This type of pressure plate offers a combination of high clamping force and ease of operation, ensuring that the clutch remains reliable and user-friendly even under increased power loads. The diaphragm design is also known for its consistency and longevity, providing drivers with confidence in their vehicle's performance over time.
The SBC SD2-2639R-12 Clutch Kit comes complete with additional components that make installation and operation as seamless as possible. These include a throw-out bearing, alignment tool, and pilot bushing made of steel, ensuring that every aspect of the clutch system is optimized for performance and durability. The inclusion of these components not only simplifies the installation process but also ensures that the clutch operates smoothly from day one.
Another aspect that sets the SBC SD2-2639R-12 Clutch Kit apart is its compatibility with a wide range of transmission systems. With an input spline of 23 and an input shaft diameter of 1, this clutch kit is designed to fit seamlessly with specific transmissions, providing a tailored solution that maximizes performance and reliability. Whether your vehicle is equipped with a G56, NV4500, or NV5600 transmission, this clutch kit is engineered to deliver exceptional performance.

Organic Friction Material
Organic clutch material is a top choice for drivers seeking smooth, reliable performance for everyday use. Made from a blend of woven organic fibers and resin compounds, it offers excellent friction stability, making it ideal for street driving where comfort and longevity are priorities. Its consistent engagement and reduced noise make it particularly suited for daily drivers, light towing, and moderate performance applications where clutch feel matters.
Designed to handle moderate torque loads, organic clutch discs excel in standard driving conditions but may wear faster under extreme stress compared to performance-based materials. However, they remain a cost-effective and dependable option for drivers who prioritize comfort and balanced performance over extreme power handling.

Sprung Hub Style
The sprung hub clutch is a versatile design focused on balancing performance with drivability. It features a series of dampening springs integrated into the hub, which help absorb vibrations and reduce shock during clutch engagement. This design is ideal for daily drivers, street performance vehicles, and light towing, where smooth gear changes and reduced drivetrain stress are essential.
By minimizing shock transfer, the sprung hub clutch prolongs the life of other drivetrain components, making it a reliable option for vehicles needing both comfort and moderate power handling. While slightly less direct in power transfer than a solid hub, it offers a superior driving experience for most street and light performance applications.

Full Face Disc Style
The full face clutch disc is designed for smooth engagement, even wear, and maximum surface contact with the pressure plate and flywheel. Covering the entire friction surface, this design provides excellent power transfer, making it ideal for daily drivers, light towing, and vehicles where comfort and longevity are top priorities. The increased surface area allows for better heat distribution, reducing the risk of premature wear.
Full face discs excel in standard and moderate performance applications, offering a balanced blend of drivability and durability. However, they may lack the aggressive grip required for extreme power handling compared to paddle-style discs, making them better suited for stock to lightly modified vehicles.

Single Disc
A single disc clutch is the most common and straightforward clutch design, featuring one friction disc to transfer power from the engine to the transmission. Known for its simplicity and reliability, it is ideal for standard vehicles, daily drivers, and light performance applications. Single disc clutches provide smooth engagement, making them perfect for casual driving and moderate power outputs.
While single disc clutches offer excellent drivability and cost-effectiveness, they have limited torque capacity compared to multi-disc setups. This design is best suited for vehicles with moderate horsepower levels where comfort, longevity, and ease of use are the primary concerns.

Stage 2 Clutch
A Stage 2 clutch offers a significant performance boost compared to stock and Stage 1 setups. Designed with stronger friction materials like Kevlar or ceramic, it provides higher torque capacity and heat resistance. This stage is ideal for moderately modified vehicles, including turbocharged setups, nitrous systems, and track-ready builds needing enhanced grip and reduced slippage.
Although it offers increased power handling, Stage 2 clutches can introduce a slightly stiffer pedal feel and more aggressive engagement than Stage 1, making them better suited for drivers prioritizing performance while still requiring reasonable street drivability.
