1987-1990 Sterling Heavy-Duty Drag Racing Clutch Kit for Acura Legend 2.5L – Premium Replacement

The South Bend Clutch K08018-HD-DXD-B is a high-performance Stage 2 drag racing clutch designed specifically for heavy-duty applications on Acura Legend models from 1987 to 1990 with 2.5L engines. This premium clutch assembly delivers exceptional torque capacity and rapid engagement, making it ideal for aggressive street and drag strip use. Engineered with advanced friction materials, it provides smooth power transfer while resisting heat buildup during high-stress launches and rapid shifts. The durable construction ensures long-term reliability even under severe towing, racing, or heavy-duty fleet operations. Installation requires adherence to specific break-in procedures to maximize performance and lifespan, including a 500-mile gentle driving period before subjecting the clutch to full towing or high-horsepower loads. Always replace related components such as the pilot bearing and throwout bearing, and ensure the flywheel surface is properly cleaned and resurfaced if needed, to achieve chatter-free engagement and optimal operation.

Features:

• Heavy-duty torque capacity designed for fleet, truck, and industrial applications

• Premium friction materials for smooth, consistent engagement and durability

• Enhanced thermal capacity to prevent clutch slippage during severe towing and high-horsepower use
