Clutch Masters 07-14 Mini Cooper JCW 1.6L Turbo FX400 6-Puck Sprung Clutch Kit (Requires Flywheel)

This Clutch Masters FX400 6-puck sprung clutch kit is built for the 2007-2014 Mini Cooper JCW models with the 1.6L turbo engine. It's designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a solid choice if you've upgraded your turbo or other engine components and need a clutch that can keep up. This kit includes the 6-puck sprung clutch disc and a heavy-duty pressure plate, but remember, it requires a separate flywheel purchase to complete the installation.

The FX400 series from Clutch Masters is known for its ability to hold significantly more torque, which is crucial for performance applications. The 6-puck disc design offers a more aggressive engagement compared to a multi-plate setup, providing a direct feel and quick power transfer. The sprung hub on the clutch disc helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration, making it a bit more streetable than a rigid hub design, especially with a performance engine. This kit is a popular option for JCW owners looking to push their Mini's performance further.

When installing this clutch kit, you'll need to ensure you have the correct flywheel for your application, as it's not included. It's also a good time to inspect your rear main seal and pilot bearing for any leaks or wear. Proper break-in is essential for longevity; typically, this involves a series of moderate acceleration and deceleration cycles without heavy load or prolonged slipping, so be sure to follow the manufacturer's specific break-in procedure.
