About this part

Product Details

If you're pushing your 2007-2014 Mini Cooper S or John Cooper Works model hard, especially with modifications or track use, you might find the stock clutch struggling to keep up. This Clutch Masters FX400 clutch kit is built to handle significantly more power and torque than the original, offering a more direct and responsive feel when you shift gears. It’s a solid choice for drivers who demand more from their drivetrain.

The FX400 kit features an 8-puck lined ceramic disc. This type of disc offers a good balance between aggressive engagement and drivability, making it suitable for spirited street driving and occasional track days. The ceramic material is known for its ability to withstand higher temperatures, which is crucial during demanding driving conditions where a stock clutch might start to slip. The kit also includes a sprung hub design, which helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration typically associated with performance clutches, contributing to a more comfortable driving experience than a solid hub disc.

Included in this kit is a new steel flywheel, ensuring you have all the necessary components for a complete clutch replacement. Using a new flywheel is important because it provides a fresh, flat surface for the clutch disc to mate with, which is essential for proper clutch operation and longevity. This comprehensive approach helps ensure that your new clutch system performs as intended right from the start. Remember to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding the break-in procedure and any special requirements for your Mini Cooper.
