What is the break-in procedure for the Clutch Masters FX350 clutch kit?

Clutch Masters typically recommends a specific break-in procedure for their FX350 discs to ensure proper engagement and longevity. This usually involves a series of gentle accelerations and decelerations. Always refer to the manufacturer's included instructions for the exact steps.

Does this clutch kit include a new pilot bearing and release bearing?

This Clutch Masters FX350 clutch kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and an aluminum flywheel. While it is highly recommended to replace the pilot bearing and release bearing during a clutch job, they are often sold separately. It's best to check the 'What's Included' section or contact us to confirm if these specific bearings are part of this kit.

How does the aluminum flywheel compare to a stock steel flywheel?

The aluminum flywheel included in this kit is significantly lighter than a stock steel flywheel. This reduction in rotational mass allows the engine to rev up and down more quickly, leading to improved throttle response and a sportier feel. While it offers performance benefits, it may also result in a slightly different idle feel compared to a heavier steel unit.

About this part

Product Details

The Clutch Masters FX350 clutch kit features a sprung organic friction disc designed for a balance of street drivability and track performance. This kit is built around an aluminum flywheel, which is notably lighter than a stock steel unit, helping to reduce rotational mass. This can lead to quicker engine response and a more immediate feel when you get on the throttle. The FX350 disc itself uses a unique compound that offers a higher torque capacity than a standard organic disc, making it a solid choice for Mini Cooper S models with the 1.5L turbo engine from 2014 to 2019, especially if you've added modifications or plan on spirited driving.

Inside this kit, you'll find everything needed for a comprehensive clutch replacement. The sprung organic disc is engineered to absorb driveline shock, providing a smoother engagement than many unsprung performance clutches. Paired with the lightweight aluminum flywheel, this setup aims to improve acceleration without sacrificing too much comfort for daily driving. Clutch Masters is known for producing well-built clutch components, and this FX350 kit is no exception, offering a significant upgrade over the factory clutch for drivers who demand more from their drivetrain.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's always a good idea to resurface or replace your pilot bearing and rear main seal while the transmission is out. Also, ensure you follow the manufacturer's specific break-in procedure for the FX350 disc to achieve optimal performance and longevity. This kit is designed to handle increased power and more demanding use, making it a popular choice for Mini Cooper S owners looking for a robust and responsive clutch system.
