Clutch Masters 07-14 Mini Cooper S/JCW 1.6 Turbo FX100 Clutch Kit - No Flywheel

This is the Clutch Masters FX100 clutch kit, specifically made for the 2007-2014 Mini Cooper S and JCW models with the 1.6 Turbo engine. If you're looking to replace a worn-out clutch or want a more direct feel for your performance Mini, this kit is a solid option. It's designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for owners who have modified their engines or plan to.

The FX100 is Clutch Masters' entry-level performance clutch, featuring a sprung, multi-plate design. This means it offers a good balance between holding power and drivability. The sprung hub helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a performance clutch, making it more comfortable for daily driving than a solid hub design. The multi-plate setup increases the surface area for engagement, which helps dissipate heat more effectively and allows the clutch to handle higher torque loads without slipping. This kit does not include a flywheel, so you'll need to reuse your existing one or purchase a compatible replacement separately.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's a direct replacement for your factory unit, meaning it fits right into the existing transmission bellhousing. You'll want to ensure your flywheel is in good condition, resurfaced, or replaced before installation, as a worn flywheel can negatively impact clutch performance and longevity. This kit is a well-built option for Mini Cooper owners looking for a step up in clutch performance without sacrificing too much in terms of daily drivability.
