South Bend Clutch is renowned for its commitment to excellence and innovation in the clutch industry. We specialize in high-performance clutch kits that cater to a variety of vehicles, including diesel trucks, performance cars, and racing applications. Our SBC Clutch Kit for 2006-2007 Chevy 2500 6.6L Diesel – Fits Other Vehicles is a testament to our dedication to quality and performance. This clutch kit is designed for diesel truck enthusiasts who demand the best in terms of reliability and performance.
Diesel trucks, particularly those used for towing, hauling, or high-performance applications, require a clutch that can withstand extreme conditions without compromising on drivability. South Bend Clutch has engineered this clutch kit with these specific needs in mind, ensuring that it not only meets but exceeds the expectations of diesel truck owners.
The clutch kit comes in two distinct variants, each designed to cater to different levels of performance requirements. One variant features a Kevlar/Ceramic friction material, while the other is equipped with a pure Ceramic friction material. Both variants are Stage 2, indicating that they are designed for trucks that have surpassed stock power levels and require a clutch that can handle increased torque and horsepower.
Kevlar/Ceramic friction material is known for its exceptional heat resistance and durability, making it an ideal choice for vehicles that are frequently used for heavy-duty applications. The Ceramic friction material, on the other hand, offers a higher coefficient of friction, providing an aggressive bite and higher torque capacity, which is perfect for extreme performance and racing applications.
Both variants of the clutch kit feature dual disc designs, which significantly increase the surface area for friction, resulting in better heat dissipation, increased torque capacity, and improved longevity. The discs are styled as Button discs, which further enhances their ability to handle high torque loads. Additionally, the inclusion of a diaphragm pressure plate that has been modified for increased clamping force ensures that the transmission of power is smooth and consistent, even under extreme conditions.
The clutch kits are designed for 4WD 2006 Chevy 2500 and 3500, GMC 2500 and 3500, including specific models such as the Chevy Kodiak and GMC Topkick, equipped with the ZF S6-650 transmission and a solid mass flywheel. This wide range of compatibility ensures that a broad spectrum of diesel truck owners can benefit from the enhanced performance and reliability offered by the South Bend Clutch Kit.
Understanding the importance of a complete solution, South Bend Clutch includes in the kit all necessary components for installation, such as the throw-out bearing and the alignment tool. This ensures a hassle-free installation process, allowing vehicle owners to get back on the road quickly and with confidence. For variants that require it, a pilot bushing made of steel is included, providing an additional layer of durability and longevity.
The decision to opt for a South Bend Clutch Kit is a choice for unparalleled quality and performance. Our clutch kits are not merely replacements but upgrades that transform the driving experience. They are meticulously engineered to provide optimal performance, whether it’s for daily driving, towing, hauling, or competitive racing. Our commitment to using only the highest quality materials and cutting-edge technology ensures that each clutch kit not only meets but exceeds the rigorous demands of high-performance applications.
In addition to the superior quality and performance of our products, South Bend Clutch prides itself on customer satisfaction and support. Our team of experts is always ready to assist with selecting the perfect clutch kit for your vehicle, ensuring that you get a product that perfectly matches your vehicle’s performance requirements and your driving style.

By choosing South Bend Clutch, you are choosing a brand that stands for excellence and innovation in the automotive industry.
Kevlar/Ceramic Multi-Friction Material
The Kevlar/ceramic combo clutch material combines the heat resistance and durability of ceramic with the smooth engagement and longevity of Kevlar. This dual-sided design features Kevlar fibers on one side for consistent, low-dust engagement and ceramic material on the other for increased friction and heat management. This blend makes it a versatile choice for vehicles requiring both drivability and enhanced performance.
Ideal for light performance use, daily driving with occasional towing, and off-road adventures, the Kevlar/ceramic clutch offers improved torque capacity without compromising pedal feel. The ceramic side ensures superior heat dissipation under load, while the Kevlar side extends clutch life by reducing wear and clutch fade. This combo is perfect for drivers wanting a performance upgrade while maintaining comfort for regular 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 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.
