Stage 3 Endurance Clutch Kit

The South Bend Clutch Stage 3 Endurance clutch kit is engineered for the demands of circuit racing, providing a robust solution for modified vehicles. The disc utilizes Kevlar friction material, chosen for its ability to maintain consistent friction coefficients even at high energy levels, ensuring smooth and precise gear transitions. Torsion springs are integrated into the disc assembly to function as a damper, effectively absorbing and mitigating vibrations between the engine and the gearbox. This kit features a race-engineered, SFI-approved pressure plate, identical to the one used in their stage 3 daily package. This pressure plate design significantly enhances transmittable torque and stability, while also offering superior thermal resistance and a longer operational lifespan. Its higher clamp load contributes to noticeably improved dynamics, especially when the vehicle is driven to its performance limits. Key specifications for this kit include a torque rating of 425 ft-lbs and SFI approval, underscoring its suitability for demanding applications. The kit is manufactured in the United States and includes the flywheel, part number SBCF8210S. It is specifically designed for MK4 1.8T VW Golf and Jetta models equipped with the 02J 5-speed transmission, covering a range of model years from approximately 2000 to 2006.
