Part #: FJK1001 - SS - X. This 'build - to - order' clutch kit is perfect for cars with HP modifications beyond stage 3. The race - engineered pressure plate is adjusted for maximum load. You can choose between sprung and un - sprung puck - designed discs, and friction materials like Sintered Iron and Graphite Impregnated Ceramic. The clutch engagement can be sudden, and hydraulic systems might need an upgrade for proper separation. A single - mass steel SFI - approved flywheel is essential for safety. Torque ratings are calculated when you place an order. Our Stage 3 and 4 clutch kits use Race Engineered Pressure Plates (SS), which offer more transmittable torque, stability, longer lifespan, and excellent thermal resistance. They also provide better driving dynamics at high clamp loads. The torque rating at the crank is 550 Ft - Lb. The kit includes a pressure plate, disc, pilot bearing, throwout bearing, and an alignment tool.
Using this South Bend Clutch Extreme Stage 4 Clutch Kit is straightforward. First, make sure your car meets the requirements, like having an SFI - approved single - mass steel flywheel. When installing, use the included alignment tool to ensure everything is in place. If your car's hydraulic system isn't strong enough, you may need to enhance it for proper clutch separation. Be aware that the clutch engagement can be abrupt, so take it easy when you first start using it. For maintenance, regularly check the pressure plate and discs for wear. If you notice any unusual noises or a decrease in performance, it's a good idea to have it inspected. Also, keep the clutch clean to prevent debris from affecting its operation. When you order, remember that the torque ratings are calculated specifically for your order.
