What is the main difference between a rigid disc and a sprung disc clutch?

A rigid disc clutch, like the one in this kit, has no dampening springs. This results in a more direct engagement feel and can contribute to faster shifts. A sprung disc clutch includes springs to absorb some of the shock and vibration, offering a smoother engagement and quieter operation.

What condition should my flywheel be in for this clutch kit?

For optimal performance and longevity of the new clutch, your flywheel should be in excellent condition. It's recommended to resurface or replace a flywheel if it shows signs of wear, warping, glazing, or heat spots before installing the new clutch kit.

Does this clutch kit include a pilot bearing?

This Clutch Masters FX350 Rigid Disc Clutch Kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. A pilot bearing is not explicitly listed as included in this kit.

About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters FX350 Rigid Disc Clutch Kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. It's built for the 2002-2006 Mini Cooper S models with the 1.6L supercharged engine. If you're looking to handle more power or simply want a more robust clutch for spirited driving, this kit is a solid option.

The FX350 series from Clutch Masters is known for its ability to hold significantly more torque than stock, making it a popular choice for modified vehicles or those that see frequent hard use. This particular kit features a rigid disc, which means it doesn't have any dampening springs. This design offers a more direct engagement feel and can contribute to quicker shifts, though it might transmit a bit more drivetrain noise and vibration into the cabin compared to a sprung disc. The pressure plate is engineered for increased clamping force, ensuring the clutch can effectively transfer power without slipping, even under demanding conditions. The included release bearing is designed to work seamlessly with the new clutch components.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is in good condition. If it shows signs of wear, warping, or glazing, it should be resurfaced or replaced to ensure proper clutch engagement and longevity. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the correct procedures and any specific torque specifications required for your vehicle.
