FAQ
Does this kit come with a flywheel?
No. This is the no-flywheel version — for vehicles that already have a compatible single-mass flywheel installed. If you need a flywheel, see the Stage 3 Endurance kit with 22.5lb CNC flywheel included.
Does it come with pressure plate bolts?
No. Pressure plate bolts are not included in this kit and must be ordered separately.
What's the torque holding capacity?
425 ft-lb, conservatively rated.
Is this SFI approved?
Yes, same SFI-approved Race Engineered pressure plate used across South Bend's Stage 3 and Stage 4 kits.
Does this fit a 6-speed TDI?
No. This SKU is 5-speed only.
What's the difference between this and the full Stage 3 Endurance kit?
Same disc and pressure plate. The full kit adds a 22.5lb CNC single-mass flywheel and flywheel/pressure plate bolts; this kit omits all three for buyers reusing an existing flywheel.
