South Bend SDD3250-5K-ORG Organic Street Dual Disc Clutch for 5.9 Cummins (1994-2004)
Upgrade your 1994–2004 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins with the South Bend SDD3250-5K-ORG Organic Street Dual Disc Clutch — the ideal solution for modified trucks that need serious holding power without sacrificing smooth, street-friendly drivability.
This complete dual-disc clutch kit is engineered specifically for NV4500 5-speed transmissions (and compatible non-HO NV5600 applications). It delivers up to 550 horsepower and 1,100 ft-lbs of torque while providing excellent pedal feel and quiet operation. The full organic friction material on both discs ensures smooth engagement, reduced chatter, and comfortable daily driving — even when towing heavy loads or running performance modifications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Full Organic Dual Disc Design — 12 organic buttons per side deliver smooth, progressive engagement with minimal noise and excellent heat dissipation for street and towing use.
- Includes Upgraded 1.375" Input Shaft — Replaces the factory 1.25" shaft (a common weak point that twists under high torque). This is a critical upgrade for modified or high-torque 5.9 Cummins builds.
- 3250 lb. Diaphragm Pressure Plate — High clamping force with surprisingly light pedal effort for a performance clutch.
- Dampened Discs — Free-travel design (similar to heavy-duty semi-truck clutches) reduces gear rollover noise and improves drivability.
- Complete Kit — Includes billet/ductile flywheel, pressure plate, dual organic discs, intermediate plate, upgraded input shaft, throwout bearing, pilot bushing, alignment tool, and hardware.
- Street & Towing Focused — Rated for up to 20,000–30,000 lbs towing capacity depending on setup. Perfect for daily drivers, tow rigs, and street performance trucks.
- Easy Pedal Feel — Maintains comfortable operation in traffic while providing the holding power you need when the power comes on.
Ideal For
- Daily-driven 5.9 Cummins trucks with performance mods or tuning
- Heavy towing and hauling
- Street performance and light competition use
- NV4500-equipped Rams that need more capacity than a single-disc clutch but want organic smoothness
Note: This is a street-oriented clutch (non-SFI). It is not intended for sled pulling, drag racing, or abusive competition use.
