Clutch Masters 02-06 Mini Cooper S 1.6L FX400 Dampened Disc Clutch Kit (Use w/ Single Mass FW)

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2002-2006 Mini Cooper S, especially if you've already swapped to a single mass flywheel, this Clutch Masters FX400 dampened disc clutch kit is a solid option. This kit is built to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for Mini owners who want improved performance and durability, whether for spirited street driving or track use. The dampened disc design helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a stiffer clutch setup, offering a more comfortable driving experience compared to a solid disc, especially in stop-and-go traffic.

Clutch Masters is known for making well-built clutch components, and this FX400 kit is no exception. It features a high-performance pressure plate that offers increased clamping force to ensure your clutch engages firmly and reliably, even under demanding conditions. The dampened disc itself is designed for longevity and smooth engagement, helping to protect your transmission from excessive shock loads. This kit is specifically designed to work with a single mass flywheel, which is a common upgrade for performance-oriented Mini Coopers, providing a more direct feel and quicker rev-ups.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's designed as a direct replacement for the clutch components when using a single mass flywheel setup. It's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any damage or wear and resurface or replace it if necessary. You'll also want to ensure you have the proper tools and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, as clutch replacement can be a involved job. This kit is a significant upgrade for your Mini Cooper S, offering a noticeable improvement in clutch performance and holding capacity.
