Product Details

This OS Giken STR Series dampened single plate clutch kit is specifically made for the 2006-2013 Mini Cooper. If you're looking to replace your clutch and want something that offers a more direct feel with improved engagement, this is a solid option. OS Giken is well-known for making high-performance clutch components, and this kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch while still providing a comfortable driving experience.

The STR Series clutch features a single plate design, which keeps the engagement feel crisp and direct. The dampened aspect of the clutch helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a performance clutch, making it more streetable. This is achieved through the use of a soft diaphragm spring, which also contributes to a lighter pedal feel compared to some other performance clutches. The kit includes the necessary components for a complete clutch replacement, ensuring you have what you need to get your Mini back on the road with improved drivetrain performance.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for wear and resurface or replace it if necessary. This will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your new clutch. OS Giken's reputation for well-built components means you can expect a durable and reliable clutch that will perform well under various driving conditions.
