If you’re looking to give your Nissan 280Z or 280ZX a little extra kick, you’re in the right place. Our South Bend Clutch kit is designed for those who want a solid upgrade without the fuss. We’re a family-run business with four generations of experience under our belt, so we know a thing or two about clutches. This isn’t just a product for us; it’s a passion.
This clutch kit is built to handle the demands of spirited driving while keeping things smooth on the daily commute. It features a single clutch disc with a 225mm diameter, made from organic material for a nice balance of grip and longevity. The sprung hub style helps with shock absorption, which means less chatter and more fun when you're shifting gears. Plus, it comes with a throwout bearing—standard style, but reliable—so you won’t have to hunt for extra parts.
Now, let’s talk fitment. This kit is specifically for the Nissan 280Z (1975-1983) and 280ZX (1979-1983), so you can be sure it’ll fit like a glove. You won’t have to worry about compatibility issues here. Just a heads up, it doesn’t come with a flywheel or mounting hardware, but it does include an alignment tool and a bronze pilot bushing, which is a nice touch for those DIY installs.
We’re all about getting you what you need quickly, too. Our inventory network is set up to ensure you get your parts without delays. Whether you’re hitting the track or just cruising around town, this clutch will keep your ride feeling fresh. It’s performance-focused but still friendly enough for everyday use—perfect for anyone who loves their Z.
