South Bend SDD3250-6-ORG Organic Street Dual Disc Clutch Kit 2000.5–2005.5 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins NV5600 6-Speed

Upgrade your 2000.5–2005.5 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins (High Output) with the South Bend SDD3250-6-ORG Organic Street Dual Disc Clutch. This full-organic dual disc clutch is engineered specifically for the NV5600 6-speed manual transmission and delivers the ideal balance of smooth street drivability and serious torque-holding capacity.

Perfect for daily-driven trucks that tow heavy loads or have moderate performance modifications, the SDD3250-6-ORG provides up to 550 HP and 1,100–1,200 ft-lbs of torque capacity while maintaining excellent pedal feel and quiet operation. The organic friction material gives smooth, progressive engagement without the harsh grab of ceramic or feramic clutches, making it an excellent choice for street and towing use.

Key Features & Benefits

• Full organic dual-disc design — 12 organic buttons per side on each disc for smooth engagement and strong holding power
• 3,250 lb. diaphragm-style pressure plate — excellent clamp load with relatively light pedal effort
• Dampened, free-travel (sprung hub) discs — reduces gear rollover noise and driveline shock, similar to heavy-duty semi-truck clutch design
• Dual disc construction — doubles friction surface area for superior torque capacity and better heat dissipation compared to single-disc clutches
• Includes ductile iron flywheel (solid mass) for a complete, ready-to-install solution
• Rated for 20,000–30,000+ lb towing capacity
• Non-SFI approved — designed for street and towing use (not for competition or sled pulling)
