Upgrade your 1994–1997 Ford 7.3L OBS Powerstroke with the South Bend Clutch 1944-5OK Stage 2 Organic Clutch Kit. Rated for up to 400 horsepower and 800 ft-lbs of torque, this complete clutch package is the perfect balance of drivability and strength for street-driven OBS trucks that tow, haul, or see moderate performance use.
This kit features South Bend’s premium organic friction material on a sprung-hub disc paired with a heavy-duty pressure plate for increased clamp load. The real standout is the solid-mass flywheel conversion, which replaces the factory dual-mass flywheel with a stronger, more durable single-mass unit. This eliminates flex and common failure points while improving power transfer and overall driveline reliability.
