    Southbend Stage 4 Clutch

    I ended up deciding to go with a puck clutch because my car is a weekend/fair weather car that sees a few thousand miles a year at best plus I'd like to make a few track visits so I no longer need the longevity of a full face clutch.

    This is a new SB Stage 4 FE "Extreme" clutch. The disc is cryotreated. Additionally, the disk and TOB are brand new. Included is an alignment tool. The pressure plate I bought used with about 1k miles on it. I cleaned it up with a scotch brite disc and it should work well since there's little to no wear on the pressure plate. I have another DXD 6-puck clutch with 25k miles on it for side by side reference if you don't believe me.

    This is an awesome clutch. Pedal pressure is like stock and engagement is smooth. There's no chattering. Torque rating is 800 ft-lbs. This will handle some serious power without giving up drive ability. I would take it any day if my power goals weren't going to be more than it can handle.

    Clutch is SOLD!!!

    It's never too late. I may regret it later but with how little I drive my car and wanting to hit the track a few times a year a puck clutch might not be too bad. I already have one that held more torque than expected on another car.

    I may be changing my mind about using this clutch. I'll make a decision when my transmission comes back.
