Mini R53: "Mk I" Mini Cooper S 2001 - 2006
Description:

This is the 11 pound aluminum flywheel & clutch. It definitely makes the motor rev faster.  My wife didn't like it, so I went back to the stock dual mass flywheel.  Her loss is your gain.  This kit retails for about $900 , I'm asking 500 obo.  PM me with any questions.

Yes, this is the aluminum flywheel, disk, & pressure plate. It has about 25k miles on it (mostly highway). I would probably put a new disk in if I were to re-use it; just because it's already apart.

100, but you can put in a 200 or a 300.

Looks like the pressure plate is an OEM Luk one with some stickers that Clutchmasters put on - did they look the same to you when you were installing? Maybe clutchmasters just uses the OEM pressure plate for that kit...

How was the clutch engagement with the FX100? Did it tend to be more on/off? What about chatter at idle or on decel.?

A little less subtle than the stock engagement; a little more gearbox chatter at idle, but nothing serious. I think If I was to reuse it, I would put the Valeo disk & pressure plate on it; or the the LUK pressure plate (after checking the deck height, of course). The stock disk has no cush hub, because it mates to a dual mass flywheel.

Thanks, sounds similar to an ACT clutch I'm currently running with the Luk pressure plate and ACT flywheel. I checked and unfortunately the Valeo clutch disk won't fit a setup like this, it can only go on the matching Valeo single mass flywheel.

I do wish there was a more stock-like sprung disk you could use with this flywheel of the ACT flywheel. For a base cooper with the 6-speed swap like mine, even the Valeo SMF kit makes shifting a little sluggish. The stock base cooper setup is quite a bit lighter than the stock S setup, at least 10lbs or more lighter I believe.

I can't believe no one is interested in this flywheel.
