What is the main benefit of the FX400 clutch kit over a stock clutch?

The FX400 series clutch kit offers significantly increased torque holding capacity compared to the factory clutch. This makes it suitable for modified engines that produce more power or for vehicles used in performance driving scenarios.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit typically includes the pressure plate, the 8-puck ceramic button disc, and a release bearing. It is highly recommended to resurface or replace your flywheel during installation, as this is not usually included in the kit.

What is the expected engagement feel with an 8-puck ceramic button disc?

Ceramic button discs, especially in an 8-puck configuration, tend to have a more abrupt and firmer engagement than stock clutches. This provides a direct connection but may require some adjustment for drivers accustomed to a softer pedal feel.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2007-2014 Mini Cooper S with the 1.6L turbo engine, this Clutch Masters FX400 kit is a solid choice for handling more power. This clutch is designed to hold significantly more torque than the stock unit, making it ideal for modified vehicles or those that see frequent track use. The 8-puck ceramic button disc offers a good balance between aggressive engagement and drivability, while the sprung hub helps absorb some of the shock during engagement.

The FX400 series clutch from Clutch Masters uses a high-performance pressure plate that provides a firmer pedal feel and increased clamping force. This ensures that the clutch can effectively transfer power without slipping, even under demanding conditions. The ceramic button disc is known for its durability and ability to withstand high temperatures, which is crucial for performance applications. While this clutch is designed for performance, it's important to note that ceramic button clutches can have a more abrupt engagement compared to organic or Kevlar discs, so expect a learning curve if you're used to a softer clutch feel.

This kit includes the necessary components for a clutch replacement, typically featuring the pressure plate, the clutch disc, and a release bearing. For installation, it's always recommended to resurface or replace your flywheel, as a worn or damaged flywheel can negatively impact clutch performance and longevity. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding proper break-in procedures and torque specifications.
