Good news on the G56 replacement clutches

[South Bend Clutch]

I just got word that 80 pcs. of the solid flywheels for our single disc clutch are off the production line and in route to us. 100 more to follow. About 1 1/2 weeks to our door. This kit will replace the dualmass flywheel and self adjusting pressure plate. The clutches will be offered in the same configurations we offer now... CON O, CON OFE, CON FE. We made the flywheels to eliminate the needle roller pilot brg. All the flywheels will have a roller ball brg. installed. We have also made in mass production new pressure plates to our specifications. We have taken the clamp load up to 3400 lbs. Stock was 2850 lbs. and modified was 3150 lbs. Now at 3400 lbs should offer a higher torque capability. Oo. These pressure plates will fit all of the 13" upgrades for the 5sp (nv4500), all the 6sp (nv5600) as well as the new G56. 3000 pressure plates are in production and should start hitting our door in the next few weeks.



Look for more information on the clutches as well as the G56 transmission in the up and coming TDR magazine.

Before I bought my 2005, I called you to discuss the G56. After our discussion I knew that if the G56 dual mass flywheels turned out to be a problem, you would figure out how to fix it. Haven't had any problems with mine so far, but it's good to know that you're on top of it...
