Clutch Masters 07-15 Mini Cooper 1.6L Non-Turbo FX300 Clutch Kit

This is the Clutch Masters FX300 clutch kit, specifically made for the 2007-2012 Mini Cooper with the 1.6L non-turbo engine. If you're looking to replace a worn-out clutch or want a more robust setup for your Mini, this kit is a solid option. It's designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for those who drive their Mini hard or have made some performance upgrades.

The FX300 kit features a sprung, multi-plate disc that offers a good balance between engagement and drivability. The sprung design helps absorb some of the shock and vibration, which can make for a more comfortable experience in daily driving compared to a solid disc. Clutch Masters uses a high-performance pressure plate in this kit, which clamps down on the disc with more force than the original. This increased clamping force is what allows the clutch to hold more power without slipping. The kit also includes a pilot bearing and alignment tool, which are essential for a smooth installation. You'll want to make sure you have a good quality flywheel, as this kit is designed to work with a standard or performance flywheel for your Mini Cooper.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's a significant job that involves removing the transmission. It's a good idea to inspect your clutch components, rear main seal, and transmission mounts while everything is apart. This kit is a well-built replacement that offers improved performance and durability for your Mini Cooper.
