I had an issue with the stage 3 clutch in my 2015 sti. After removal there were some strange heat spots on the pressure plate. Trent , Rocco and Landon took care of it by resurfacing and replacing the parts as needed a d had it shipped back out quickly . The woman (I'm sorry I don't remember your name. Debbie? Maybe ) answered countless phone calls and made sure I got everything I needed. I felt like family .Looking forward to reinstalling it and getting it broken in.

I was having a hard time deciding which clutch I needed to order for my truck even though I read through the literature on the website on selecting what clutch you need. I didn’t think it was unreasonable to call southbend and ask them just so I knew the $1700+ I was spending would get me exactly what I needed. From the lady who answered the phone to the arrogant pr*ck who answered the phone I was shocked to be treated the way I was for trying to do business with this company. I called valair and the guy who picked up was happy to answer the same question (one I am sure he’s been asked millions of times as well), and now I not only saved myself a couple bucks, I know valair atleast has a grain of customer service in them. Spend your money wisely folks, couldn’t imagine dealing with south bend clutch if you had an issue under warranty. Thanks south bend for helping me make a decision, too bad it wasn’t one of your products.

Absolute top-notch hardware backed by the most outstanding customer service. It is obvious that professionalism, patience, and a 'people-first' attitude means everything to this company and its people.

Horrible service. No way to get ahold of them for technical support for their products. Spend $1300 on a clutch and get poorly written instructions that say "remove clutch assembly, install assembly", no torques provided for components they tell you to remove. Then they tell you to contact an authorized dealer none of which can answer a phone or call you back.

Knowledgeable, and product are pretty high quality. Works great on my 88 mustang. Got the kevlar one. Might have been like a stage 2. Wasn't sure how grabby it would be but I can slip it just as much if I want as the stock one. So super smooth cruising, and a lot of grab when I need it. She's healthy!

It's the only clutch we use and recommend at our shop. Have installed hundreds of them into customer cars and our personal cars.

Just went to get a new clutch and get my flywheel resurfaced and the sales man talked me into the whole new kit for a smoking deal. Highly recommended

Bought a south bend clutch put it in the truck and 16k miles later it wouldn’t disengage fully causing 1st and 2nd gear to grenade and have no synchros left then to see heat marks on the flywheel. Called many times and no body would return my calls or anything after Landon told me they would cover half the rebuild of the transmission when it came time to pay it they denied everything saying they never spoke to me or anything. Worst customer service and worst people and company to deal with. Losing 1500$ on a clutch and paying 7,000$ to rebuild it is a joke to them. That’s why I bought a valiar clutch and those people are amazing. South bend is not what they hype it to be at all!!

The guys and gals at south bend are absolutely top notch with everything. I haven’t had customer service and warranty help this good in my whole life. Can’t recommend them enough. Their products are unbeatable and they absolutely 100% put their money where their mouth is.

They should stand behind there products. absolutely terrible customer service and the warranty is non existent. I had a pressure plate snap in half on me and I only had 700 miles on the car. Break in miles at that with no hard launches or preloading. They refuse to warranty there poorly made clutch kit.
