Clutch Masters 02-06 Mini Cooper S 1.6L Supercharged FX700 Twin Disc Clutch Kit

The Clutch Masters FX700 twin disc clutch kit is built with a specific focus on handling the demands of high-performance Mini Cooper S models from 2002 to 2006. This kit features a unique dual-disc design, which significantly increases the clutch's surface area compared to a single-disc setup. This larger contact area is key to managing the higher torque output often found in modified 1.6L supercharged engines, helping to prevent slippage and ensure consistent power transfer.

At the heart of the FX700 kit are two high-performance friction discs, chosen for their ability to withstand extreme heat and pressure. These discs work in conjunction with a robust pressure plate assembly, engineered to provide a firm clamping force without making the clutch pedal excessively heavy for daily driving. The kit also includes a pilot bearing and a high-quality release bearing, ensuring all critical components are replaced for a complete and reliable installation. Clutch Masters has a well-known reputation for producing durable clutch systems, and this twin-disc setup is a testament to their commitment to performance and longevity for enthusiasts pushing their vehicles.

When installing a twin-disc clutch like this, it's important to note that it's a more involved process than a standard single-disc replacement. Proper alignment of the two discs is crucial for smooth engagement and to prevent premature wear. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, meaning no modifications are typically needed to the flywheel or transmission housing, though a new flywheel or resurfacing of the existing one is often recommended for optimal performance and longevity. This Clutch Masters FX700 kit is a solid option for Mini Cooper S owners looking for a significant upgrade in clutch capacity and durability.
