South Bend Clutch is a leader in manufacturing high-quality clutch kits and components that are designed to enhance your vehicle's performance and reliability. Our SBC Clutch Kit for the 2005-2018 Dodge 2500 5.9L Diesel, which also fits other vehicles, exemplifies our commitment to innovation, durability, and customer satisfaction. This product is engineered for diesel trucks that demand superior clutch performance under various operating conditions. Whether you're driving on the highway, hauling heavy loads, or engaging in moderate off-road activities, our clutch kits are designed to provide you with an unmatched driving experience.

One of the unique aspects of our clutch kits is their compatibility with multiple transmission types used in Dodge diesel trucks, such as the NV5600 and the G56. These transmissions are known for their robustness in handling high torque levels, making them an excellent match for our high-performance clutch kits. Our clutch kits are specifically designed to work harmoniously with these transmissions, ensuring smooth gear engagement, improved shift quality, and enhanced overall drivetrain reliability.

Our SBC Clutch Kit comes in various configurations to meet the diverse needs of our customers. The Organic/Ceramic variant, designed for Stage 3 Endurance usage, is perfect for drivers who require a clutch that can withstand the rigorous demands of heavy towing, racing, or high-performance driving. On the other hand, the Organic variant for Stage 2 Daily usage is optimized for drivers looking for a significant upgrade over the stock clutch, with improved handling for daily driving and light towing. Both variants include a dual disc setup, which increases the surface area for friction, leading to better torque handling and heat dissipation.

Each kit comes with a set of features designed to enhance your vehicle's performance:

• Dual Clutch Discs: Our dual disc design allows for increased torque capacity without sacrificing drivability. This design also aids in heat dissipation, contributing to the longevity of the clutch.
• Friction Materials: The choice between Organic and Organic/Ceramic friction materials allows you to select the clutch that best suits your driving needs. Organic material provides smooth engagement and is ideal for daily driving conditions, while the Organic/Ceramic mixture offers a higher heat tolerance and increased durability for more demanding applications.
• Includes Flywheel: Each kit comes with a flywheel, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance. Our flywheels are designed to work in perfect harmony with the clutch, providing a solid foundation for power transfer.
• Comprehensive Kit Contents: In addition to the clutch discs and flywheel, our kits include a throw-out bearing, alignment tool, and pilot bushing made from durable steel. These components ensure a hassle-free installation and contribute to the overall reliability of the clutch system.

Organic/Ceramic Multi-Friction Material

The organic/ceramic combo clutch material offers a perfect balance between smooth drivability and enhanced torque capacity. This hybrid design pairs an organic friction surface on one side for smooth engagement with a ceramic material on the other side for increased heat resistance and durability. This combination makes it ideal for performance street driving, moderate towing, and off-road applications where a mix of comfort and strength is needed.

By combining both materials, this clutch disc reduces chatter while offering improved torque handling compared to standard organic discs alone. It's a great choice for drivers seeking a versatile clutch capable of handling both daily driving and occasional high-performance use.

Endurance Clutch

The Endurance clutch is designed for long-lasting durability in demanding driving conditions. Built with heavy-duty materials such as Kevlar and ceramic composites, it offers excellent heat resistance and minimal wear over time. This clutch level is ideal for vehicles involved in long-distance towing, off-road endurance races, and high-mileage applications where reliability is critical.

Endurance clutches provide a moderate pedal feel while offering superior wear resistance compared to standard designs. Though slightly stiffer than a Daily clutch, the enhanced longevity makes it a preferred choice for vehicles regularly subjected to heavy loads and extended use.

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.

Button Disc Style

The button clutch disc, also known as a puck-style disc, features small friction pads (or buttons) spaced around the disc rather than a full friction surface. This segmented design reduces rotating mass, improving throttle response and heat dissipation. It is commonly used in performance vehicles where quick power transfer and reduced clutch fade are essential.

While button discs offer improved power handling and reduced weight, they often result in a more aggressive clutch engagement with less modulation, making them better suited for racing, performance driving, and modified street vehicles rather than casual daily use.

Dual Disc

The dual disc clutch offers increased performance and power-handling capacity by utilizing two friction discs instead of one. This design effectively doubles the surface area for power transfer, allowing for greater torque capacity and improved heat dissipation. Dual disc setups are ideal for performance vehicles, heavy towing, and high-horsepower applications where a standard single disc may fall short.

Despite the enhanced power capacity, dual disc clutches can still provide smooth engagement when paired with a sprung hub design. They strike an excellent balance between performance and drivability, making them a preferred choice for modified street vehicles and diesel trucks requiring extra holding power.

Modified Pressure Plate

A modified pressure plate is engineered to deliver increased clamping force, enhancing torque capacity and overall clutch performance. This upgraded design often features reinforced components, heavier diaphragm springs, or altered fulcrum points to provide superior grip on the clutch disc. Ideal for high-performance vehicles, heavy towing, and racing applications, a modified pressure plate ensures reliable power transfer under extreme loads.

While modified pressure plates offer enhanced power handling, they often result in a stiffer clutch pedal feel due to the increased spring pressure. This trade-off is generally acceptable for performance-focused applications where power capacity is prioritized over everyday comfort.

Stage 3 Clutch

A Stage 3 clutch is built for high-performance and heavy-duty applications where aggressive power handling is required. Typically using ceramic or feramic materials, this clutch provides exceptional heat resistance and torque capacity, making it ideal for vehicles with significant power modifications, such as forced induction or high-horsepower diesel builds.

While Stage 3 clutches offer superior performance under load, they often result in a firmer pedal feel and more abrupt engagement, which may be challenging for casual driving. This stage is best suited for high-performance vehicles, drag racing, and extreme towing where maximum power transfer is crucial.
