Competition Clutch 2002-2006 Mini Cooper Stage 4 - 6 Pad Ceramic Clutch Kit

This Competition Clutch Stage 4 kit is built for the 2002-2008 Mini Cooper with the 1.6L supercharged engine and 6-speed transmission. The heart of this kit is the six-puck sprung disc featuring ceramic buttons. This design offers a penetrating engagement, which is crucial for effectively transferring power in higher horsepower applications. It’s engineered to handle significantly more torque than a stock clutch, giving you up to a 250% increase in torque capacity.

When you're rebuilding the drivetrain for a performance-oriented Mini Cooper, a clutch like this Stage 4 kit is a solid choice. The sprung hub on the disc helps absorb some of the shock during engagement, making it a bit more manageable for daily driving compared to a solid hub design, while still providing the strength needed for spirited driving and track use. The kit includes a performance pressure plate, the high-torque six-puck ceramic disc, a throw-out bearing, a pilot bearing, and an alignment tool, so you have the essential components for the job.

Installing a clutch kit like this is a significant undertaking, typically requiring the removal of the transmission. It's a good idea to inspect other drivetrain components like the flywheel, rear main seal, and transmission seals while everything is apart. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's specific installation instructions for proper break-in procedures to ensure the longevity of your new clutch.
