Stage 2 Daily Clutch & Flywheel Kit

The South Bend Clutch & Flywheel Kit is a Stage 2 Daily performance upgrade specifically engineered for the VW Mk8 2.0T. This kit is designed to complement engine modifications like Unitronic Stage 2 and Stage 2+ power levels, offering increased clamp load and robust material choices. The Stage 2 Daily configuration focuses on maintaining an OEM pedal feel and initial engagement characteristics, with an organic disc material that boasts twice the coefficient of friction of a stock lining and up to a 12,000 RPM burst point. The pressure plate in this Heavy Duty kit has an increased clamp load without a significant rise in pedal effort, ensuring drivability for daily use. The high metal content in the organic disc material not only enhances friction but also provides increased rotational strength for durability. This clutch system is recommended for daily driving, street use, and moderate racing scenarios, offering a balance of performance and reliability. The flywheel included in this kit is manufactured from low carbon, hot rolled steel, chosen for its resistance to warping and compatibility with performance friction materials. It is CNC machined for precise tolerances and perfect balance, exceeding OE specifications. The flywheel weighs 19 lbs, contributing to the overall performance characteristics of the kit. It is important to note that this kit does not include flywheel bolts, which must be sourced separately.
