Premium Clutch Upgrade Kit for Ram 5.9L Cummins

If you're putting serious power to the ground in your ‘94–‘04 Ram Cummins with an NV4500, you need a clutch setup that’s going to hold strong without giving up street manners. The South Bend Clutch SDD3250-5K Organic/Ceramic Dual Disc Clutch Kit is built for trucks that work hard, play hard, and demand more from their driveline. Whether you’re towing heavy, laying down performance numbers, or both, this Stage 4 dual disc setup is a proven upgrade that delivers the holding power you need without turning your left leg into jelly in traffic. At the heart of the system is a 3250 lb. diaphragm-style pressure plate that provides serious clamping force while maintaining a surprisingly manageable pedal feel. What really makes this kit unique, though, is its multi-friction disc design. The outer sides of the discs feature organic material for smooth engagement and daily driving comfort, while the inner sides use ceramic buttons for added grip and higher heat resistance under load. It’s a well-balanced setup that doesn’t force you to choose between driveability and performance.

Rated to Handle High-Performance Applications

South Bend didn’t stop at just the friction materials, either. This kit includes a one-of-a-kind dampened center plate to reduce rattle when the clutch is disengaged, making it much quieter than most heavy-duty dual discs. The discs also feature a free-travel design, similar to what’s used in semi-truck clutches, to help prevent gear rollover and prolong transmission life. Rated to handle up to 650 horsepower and 1300 ft-lbs of torque, this clutch kit includes everything you need for a full install—complete with a billet flywheel and an upgraded 1-3/8" input shaft to replace the OE shaft, which is notorious for twisting under high torque. If you’re planning to tow up to 30,000 lbs or simply want to put the power down without second-guessing your clutch, the SDD3250-5K is a rock-solid choice.
