Was wondering if anyone here has used a southbend clutch. If so what did you think of it?

Same in the 3000GT/Stealth world. They are still new there tho. Check out 3si.org and search Southbend Clutches.

i used them in my supra tt for 6 month. i forgot exactly which version i got, it wasnt the 6 puck one. i got the 500 torque capability one though i remember. felt very close to stock, only slightly stiffer and only slightly quicker engagement. simply, i loved it.

A few guys I know use them in their Cummins powered Dodge's. They can hold the 1000tq numbers they throw at them. I actually just purchased one for my Ram and I plan on getting one for the Evo as well.

I have had one for about 9000 miles and for DD I absolutely love it! There can be issues with the clutch disc fusing to the flywheel, but if the car is not launched, then it is a non-issue. Pedal pressure is just like stock and it holds power with no problem, even when doing power run after power run. Also, there is no high-rpm gear lock-out like with some other clutches on the market.
