I pulled the tranny yesterday, got the flywheel resurfaced, and today I got everything back together. I will be putting the South Bend clutch up for sale. Hopefully this ceramic pucked clutch isn’t bad to drive and lives up to its 400wtq reputation. The South Bend was really a pleasure to drive. Probably the best I’ve had in terms of low noise and smooth engagement. The kevlar material was just so soft and forgiving, it is like someone slapping your face with a mink mitten. Like a cat swatting at another cat. Like felt stoppers on a soft close drawer. Like Charmen Comfort tissue on your backside. It can handle 300wtq and may get to 360wtq as rated with longer break in. Praying this ceramic works out. I will probably hold onto the South Bend clutch just in case until I know the Exedy Stage 2 works out.
