Enhance your Mazda RX-7’s performance with the South Bend Clutch Stage 2 Drag Clutch Kit designed specifically for models from 1979 to 1982 equipped with 1.3L and 1.1L engines. This premium heavy-duty clutch assembly is engineered to deliver superior torque capacity, smooth engagement, and durability for high-performance applications such as street racing, drag racing, and demanding street use. Constructed with high-quality friction materials, the kit ensures consistent power transfer and reduces slipping during severe towing or boost conditions, making it ideal for enthusiasts who demand reliability under stress. The kit’s advanced thermal capacity helps prevent overheating during extended high-RPM operation, maintaining clutch integrity and prolonging drivetrain lifespan. Installation of this clutch kit requires adherence to recommended break-in procedures, including a 500-mile period of moderate driving to ensure optimal friction surface seating and component longevity. Always replace the pilot and throwout bearings and resurface or replace the flywheel for best results. Proper cleaning of the pressure plate face with high-grade brake cleaner prior to assembly is essential for chatter-free operation and long-term performance.
