If you’re looking to upgrade your ride with a clutch that can handle the heat, let me tell you about the South Bend Clutch. This isn’t just any clutch—it’s a performance-driven piece of engineering that’s ready to take your Volkswagen Jetta 1.9L Turbo Diesel from daily driver to something a bit more exciting. I’ve had my hands on these clutches, and they’ve got the goods to back up their reputation.

What I really appreciate about South Bend Clutch is that they cater to everyone—whether you’re cruising around town or pushing your vehicle to the limits on the track. They’ve been in the game for four generations, so they know a thing or two about what makes a clutch work. Their inventory covers everything from OEM specs to heavy-duty options, ensuring you find what fits your needs.

Now, let’s talk specifics. This particular clutch kit is a Stage 3 Drag Clutch, and it comes with a single disc that’s 230mm in diameter. The ceramic disc material is designed for performance, giving you that extra bite when you need it. And with a 6-paddle design, you’ll feel the difference when you’re shifting gears. The sprung hub style helps with smoother engagement, which is a must for anyone who’s serious about their driving experience.

One of the best parts? It comes with an alignment tool and a throwout bearing, so you’re not left scrambling for extra parts when you’re ready to install. Just keep in mind that the flywheel isn’t included, so you might want to grab one if you don’t already have it. Also, no mounting hardware or pilot bushing is included, but that’s pretty standard in the aftermarket world.

This kit is specifically designed for the 1997-1999 Volkswagen Jetta 1.9L Turbo Diesel, and it’s built to handle the demands of performance driving without breaking a sweat. If you’re serious about enhancing your vehicle’s capabilities, this clutch kit is a solid choice. Plus, with South Bend Clutch’s commitment to quality and speedy delivery, you know you’re in good hands.

So, if you’re ready to give your Jetta the upgrade it deserves, this Stage 3 clutch kit could be just what you need to take your driving experience to the next level.
