South Bend designs and manufactures performance clutches that are smooth and reliable. Complete kits are available for for both 5 and 6 speed transmissions, and for a variety of horsepower applications. PDR stocks and installs clutches for 1989-2006 Dodge RAM diesels. South Bend also designs and manufactures a complete line of high performance dual disc clutches. Those that have tried other clutch manufactures, always settle on SBC as they can't be beaten.
2nd gen customers with 6sp trans, please note your engines stock hp rating when picking your clutch, as non high output ETC engines (under 245hp) with 6sp trans, have a 1.250" input shaft. All 6sp high output ETH engines (245hp) have a 1.375" input shaft.
3rd gen customers with 2005-06 trucks, please note, trucks came with two different transmission in that year. The NV5600 trans has reverse to the right and up and takes a MU1947 clutch. The newer 6 sp is a G56 trans with reverse to the left. All G56 clutch sets require you to purchase a upgraded HYD-X-.750 hydralic assembly.
When choosing a clutch it is very important to match the appropriate horse power and work load. For example: The MU 0090 Rally and MU 0090 Con O are capable of handling the horse power and torque ratings provided in our listings, but if the truck is used for heavy hauling when coupled with torque ratings exceeding 600 ft. lbs. damage to the clutch disc WILL occur. The cause and effect is the 12 1/4" disk does not provide enough dampened area to absorb the added torque of the Cummins along with heavy hauling. These two clutch kits are fine for light towing and performance. If you are going to be towing in excess of 8,000 lbs. while exceeding 600 ft. lbs. of torque you must go with the MU 13-1.25 Con O, OFE or FE. This will offer a clutch that will handle heavy towing with vehicles equipped with the higher torque ratings. This clutch only applies to trucks with 5 speed transmissions and early 6 speeds that are not equipped with the HO engine. If a 12 1/4" clutch is purchased from us, or one of our distributors, and gets destroyed at the dampened portion of the disc, warranty will not be granted.
Do not try and save money when it comes to choosing a clutch. This will only cost you more in the long run. |
