If you're looking to upgrade your clutch setup, you've stumbled upon something special here. This isn't just any clutch kit; it's a serious piece of engineering designed for those of us who push our rides beyond the norm. South Bend Clutch has been in the game for generations, and trust me, they know their stuff. Their kits are built to last and perform, whether you’re tearing up the streets or hauling heavy loads.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. This kit is specifically made for the 2005-2012 Subaru Legacy and Legacy Outback models that originally came with a dual mass flywheel. We’re swapping that out for a single mass flywheel, which is a big deal for performance enthusiasts. It’s a conversion that not only improves your clutch feel but also enhances overall responsiveness. Just make sure to double-check with your dealership using your VIN to confirm compatibility—better safe than sorry!
What’s in the box? You’ll find a single clutch disc with a 230mm diameter, featuring a 6-paddle design that’s all about grabbing power. The ceramic material is tough and built to handle the heat, so you won’t have to worry about it giving up on you during spirited driving. The pressure plate is diaphragm style, modified to crank up the load for maximum performance. Just a heads up, the engagement can be a bit abrupt, so be ready for that. If you're running a hydraulic system, you might want to beef it up a bit to ensure smooth operation.
And let’s not forget about the flywheel—it’s a billet steel piece that’s SFI approved for safety. This kit is designed for serious horsepower mods, so torque ratings can be calculated when you place your order. That means you get a setup tailored to your ride's needs.
Here’s a quick rundown of what you get:
This is a solid choice for anyone looking to take their Subaru Baja 2.5L Turbo (2006) to the next level. If you’re ready to feel the difference, this clutch kit is waiting for you. Dive in and give your ride the upgrade it deserves!
