Clutch Masters 07-15 Mini Cooper S 1.6L Turbo Aluminum Flywheel - Single Disc Clutch Kit (6-Puck)

This Clutch Masters kit for your 2007-2014 Mini Cooper S with the 1.6L turbo engine includes a single-disc, 6-puck clutch and a lightweight aluminum flywheel. This setup is designed for drivers who need a clutch that can handle more power and engage more firmly than a stock clutch. The 6-puck design offers a larger surface area for grip, which translates to a more direct and immediate connection between the engine and the transmission when you shift gears.

The aluminum flywheel is significantly lighter than a stock dual-mass flywheel. This reduced rotational mass allows your engine to rev up and down more quickly, which can improve throttle response and make the car feel more lively, especially during spirited driving. While it offers a more direct feel, be aware that a lighter flywheel can sometimes make low-speed driving and stop-and-go traffic a bit more challenging, requiring a bit more finesse with the clutch pedal. This kit is a solid option if you're looking to upgrade your Mini's drivetrain for better performance and a more engaging driving experience.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to resurface or replace your pilot bearing and throw-out bearing, as these are wear items that should always be replaced during a clutch job. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and torque specifications to ensure a proper and safe installation.
