South Bend Performance Clutch Porsche 911 (996) 3.6 Turbo (Stage 3 Endurance)
South Bend Clutches are developed and tested by South Bend across many different friction products, pressure plate loads and flywheel designs with one goal in mind, to create clutch systems not only with perfect balance and symmetry but also to perfectly complement engine modifications without compromise in reliability, drivability or enjoyment.
The success of the development efforts has produced a performance clutch product line of the highest quality and performance available for Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, South Bend Clutches.
Each clutch system is specially matched to specific driving styles, uses and power levels to insure the needs of each client are accomplished. Often times, a compromise between drivability and pedal feel must be made to achieve power handling. If you are drag racing you will have different requirements for clutch operation than someone who wishes to participate in daily spirited driving or endurance racing.
Each South Bend Clutch is offered in either a Daily, Endurance or Drag configuration to accomplish the power handling needed for your car.

CLUTCH - for 2001-2006 Porsche 911. For dual mass flywheel., cylinders = 6 engine liters = 3.6T intended use = ENDURANCE, clutch stage = 3, torque = 660, manufacturer part # = K70284-01-SS-TZ-DMF. For dual mass flywheel.
Endurance
The Endurance configuration focuses on reduced transmission wear and perfect transitions from gear to gear. Kevlar and other more exotic materials are used to hold the power for many hours of abuse and torsion springs are used to damper between the engine and gearbox. Pedal feel is typically only slightly more rigid and initial engagement is certainly manageable resulting in a driveline component that quite handily eliminates any concerns from the Drivers and Crew Chief.
