What other cars use the same flywheel as Mini

Are there any other cars that use the same flywheel as the 02-06 yrs R53?

this is a great question. I once has a mazdaspeed3 guy tell me he shared a transmission with my R53, I dont believe him though... then we would also have focus RS transmissions... but that does seem to ring a bell since their LSD fits ours.... maybe. interested to see what this brings in.

Not to my knowledge, but out of curiosity, why do you ask? When I did the "S" trans swap on my car, I did a fair amount of research on different (affordable) flywheel options for the R53, so maybe I can help.

From what i've gathered, the ratios are different, but its the same transmission.

I have a focus diff

As far as I know they are NOT compatible. Different mounting points and what not. The guts are basically the same barring the ratio's I think.
