The South Bend Clutch 1944-5OR is a Stage 1 Full Organic Clutch Kit meticulously crafted for stock applications in 1987-2003 Ford Powerstroke 7.3L vehicles. Designed to handle stock horsepower, this 13" clutch kit offers smooth engagement and reliable power delivery. Key features include a durable Kevlar Pilot Bushing, enhancing longevity and ensuring consistent performance. This kit is supplied without a flywheel, allowing for flexibility in component selection. South Bend Clutch Company is known for its precision engineering and durable clutch systems, ensuring a confident upgrade. A crucial installation note is that this kit is not compatible with OEM Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) setups. It requires the use of a South Bend Clutch Solid Mass Flywheel (SMF) for optimal performance and proper function. Additionally, a break-in period of 500 miles of stop-and-go driving is recommended before towing heavy loads to ensure longevity and avoid uneven wear. The clutch is warrantied for 12 months or 12,000 miles against defects in workmanship and material. However, the warranty is void under specific conditions, including installation by a non-certified mechanic, failure to replace or properly resurface the flywheel, or if the clutch is altered, improperly installed, or damaged by accident, negligence, or misuse.
