About this part

Product Details

This Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit is built for the 2014-2019 Mini Cooper S models equipped with the 2.0L turbo engine. It's designed to handle significantly more power than the stock clutch, making it a solid choice if you've modified your engine or plan to. The FX500 series is Clutch Masters' answer for vehicles that see a lot of street use but also need to perform under demanding conditions, like track days or spirited driving.

At the heart of this kit is the 8-puck rigid disc. The rigid design means there are no springs to absorb shock; this transfers power more directly from the engine to the transmission. The 8-puck configuration offers a large surface area for engagement, which is crucial for holding higher torque levels without slipping. This setup is known for its aggressive engagement, so it's best suited for drivers who are comfortable with a firmer pedal feel and a more direct clutch engagement. The kit includes a performance pressure plate, the 8-puck rigid disc, and a release bearing, all designed to work together for optimal performance and durability.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is in good condition or resurfaced to spec, as this will directly impact clutch performance and longevity. Given the increased power handling capabilities, it's also a good time to inspect your clutch fork and pilot bearing for wear. This kit is a significant upgrade for Mini Cooper S owners looking to push their vehicle's performance envelope.
