South Bend Stage 3 Daily Clutch Review | Subaru WRX

Reviewing the Southbend stage 3 clutch after 20,000 miles of driving with it. This clutch is easy for daily driving with an easy engagement point and no chatter. The only downside is its cost at about $840. Ended up buying a new 2015 Subaru WRX OEM flywheel just to be safe.

Southbend description:
Recommended for single mass flywheel (SMF) when original design is DMF. This clutch package is designed for high HP vehicles desiring a start performance similar to O.E. The pressure plate is Race Engineered (SS) and SFI approved with significant load increase over stage 1,2 pressure plates (+600-800 lbs.). Expect a pedal effort increase of 20%-25%. Discs are assembled with heat-treated wear resistant hubs; drive plates and springs for high load transfer and dependable operation. The sprung centers on the disc in conjunction with the marcel fin between the linings create a dual dampening effect that simulates O.E. start performance. A Performance Organic friction material with a high metal content increases torque and RPM capability and maintains low operating temperatures which reduces wear and glazing.

Recommended usages are daily, spirited street and occasional track.

Rated holding capacity at 400 ft/lbs.
