Give your 1994–1997 7.3L Powerstroke OBS truck the clutch it deserves. The South Bend 1944-5OFEK is a complete Stage 3 performance clutch kit that replaces the factory dual-mass flywheel and weak stock clutch with a durable single-mass flywheel and a high-torque OFE (Organic/Feramic) disc.

Rated for 475 horsepower and 1,000 lb-ft of torque with up to 25,000 lb towing capacity, this kit is ideal for modified OBS trucks that see street use, heavy towing, or performance upgrades.

South Bend’s signature OFE hybrid disc combines one side organic facing for smooth, street-friendly engagement with a feramic side for serious holding power. You get the best of both worlds — drivability without the chatter or harshness of a full-ceramic clutch, and the strength needed when you add power or tow heavy.

This complete kit includes:

• South Bend solid mass flywheel (dual-mass to single-mass conversion)
• 13" OFE half-organic / half-feramic clutch disc
• Performance pressure plate
• Throwout bearing & Kevlar pilot bushing
• Clutch alignment tool
• Flywheel bolts and hardware

Key Benefits:

• Eliminates factory dual-mass flywheel failures and chatter
• Stronger clamping force for modified or tuned 7.3L trucks
• Smooth engagement for daily driving and towing
• Precision-machined components for perfect fit in ZF 5-speed trucks
• Built in the USA by South Bend Clutch

Fitment: 1994–1997 Ford F-250 / F-350 7.3L Powerstroke with ZF S5-42 or S5-47 5-speed manual transmission (OBS models).

Not recommended for completely stock trucks. This is a performance clutch designed for modified engines or trucks that tow regularly.

Break-In Recommendation: Perform 500 miles of varied stop-and-go driving before towing or putting heavy loads on the clutch. Avoid excessive downshifting — use your brakes instead to extend clutch life.

Warranty: 1 Year / 12,000 Miles (manufacturer defects)
