Replacement Clutch Options... Too Many!!



Help me whittle the list of options down for clutch replacements...

I daily drive my Clubman roughly 30,000 miles per year. I have a Manic Stage 2 tune. I don't want a stiffer pedal, and drive-ability is VERY important to me. I do not want a clutch with an on-off "light switch" behavior.

Second, flywheel... Dual-mass? Single-mass? In my research, it sounds like single-mass is the way to go. HOWEVER, it also looks like most (if not all) do not have the timing hole for locking the crankshaft when needed. I do NOT want to have to deal with that...

Finally, who has the most comprehensive kit for replacement? Would like to buy from one place, to make sure I'm not getting duplicate parts that are not needed, and to have everything delivered at once.

I installed a single-mass Valeo flywheel/pressure plate/clutch on my R53 and love it. Kit came with a new throwout bearing and bolts. Look around the Interweb for the best price.
