So I went and purchased a 'stage 1' south bend clutch for my car (part # 16073)

Came in the mail today and I was looking it over and was rather surprised to see Exedy printed on the actual clutch itself.
I thought they actually made their own clutches- especially since I was told my clutch was shipped out late because it had to be made to order since their stock ran out.
Do they just modify Exedy clutches or something instead? Anyone have any incite on this?






And the pressure plate itself just had a south bend sticker on it

exedy makes all the clutches hubs and pressure plates, southbend uses their own friction surfaces and clamping springs. ACT does the same thing.

congrats on getting the best clutch on the market, you wont be disapointed
