Features:
If you're running a 7.3L Powerstroke from the 1994–1998 era and you're looking to upgrade your clutch for better holding power without giving up drivability, the South Bend 1944-5OFER Dual Disc Clutch Kit is a solid step forward. Built for those who push their trucks a little harder but still want smooth engagement, this kit blends the strength of ceramic and organic materials to give you a clutch that bites when you need it but behaves when you don’t. It’s rated for up to 475 horsepower and 1000 ft-lbs of torque, making it ideal for light towing and performance driving without going overboard. This kit doesn’t include a flywheel, so it’s specifically intended for customers already running a South Bend 1944-OFEK setup. That makes it a perfect replacement solution if you're due for a refresh but don't need the full kit again. You’ll get the same trusted performance, with engagement that’s clean and manageable in daily use. Whether you're rolling through town or hauling something modest on the weekend, this clutch gives you the control and strength to do it right.
The South Bend 1944-5OFER is a dual disc clutch designed for 1994–1998 Ford F250 and F350 trucks equipped with the 7.3L Powerstroke and an existing 1944-OFEK flywheel system. This clutch-only kit features full feramic lining and a modified pressure plate, combining to deliver high torque capacity while maintaining smooth and manageable engagement. With a power rating of 475 horsepower and a torque capacity of 1000 ft-lbs, it is built to support mild power upgrades and is ideal for light towing applications up to 8000 pounds. The dual disc configuration offers more surface area than a single disc setup, improving heat dissipation and clutch life under load. Its hybrid organic and ceramic materials strike a balance between everyday drivability and performance capability, making it suitable for truck owners who demand more than stock but don’t need a full race setup. The exclusion of a flywheel makes it a direct fit for those who have already installed the full OFEK system, offering a cost-effective refresh option. As with all South Bend products, quality and durability are a given, making this a trusted solution for hardworking diesel enthusiasts.
