Hello,

does go together this two things?

I am going to change the flywheel I would like to know if the OEM clutch belong together?

Thanks

 

The Fidanza flywheel is un-sprung; it requires a sprung hub clutch disc. The S model’s flywheel is a twin-mass (sprung) design which uses an un-sprung clutch disc. So, if you have an MCS, the stock clutch disc is not compatible with the Fidanza (at least not without drivability issues).

 

Hello.

Yes I know that the OEM flywheel is twinmass to reduce the vibrations.

So if I change it to fidanza it will be in any case more vibrations. But I am looking that picture of OEM clutch in ETK and it has a springs. Like all "normal" clutch.


If I look that "sport" clutch it hasn't got springs, so there will be a driving issue.

Ma plan is: Fidanza flywheel, OEM clutch(disc) with beter (carbon) mass on it and OEM plate.

So the "biggest" question is does go the OEM plate to fidanza flywheel (interspace of the bolts)?

I hope I was clear.

 

To restate your question as I understand it now; will the OEM R50 Cooper pressure plate bolt holes and dowel holes line up with the Fidanza flywheel? Sorry, I do not know that answer. You may contact Fidanza and pose that question to them, or restate your question in the “non-S” forum section for possibly better results.

 

U sorry, I am talking about COOPER S 2002.

 

You want to combine a flywheel designed for the S model with the sprung hub disc & pressure plate designed for the Cooper (according to the diagram photo provided); that’s why I suggested the “non-S” section to increase exposure.

Of course if we keep bobbing this on the top of this section long enough someone who knows will be able to see it and answer .

 

I really don't understand what are you talking about.

Here is the link to OEM clutch:

Where do you se "non S section"?

 

Now I have do some research.

In the ETK is the wrong picture. You have right, the OEM clutch do not have a springs.

A little anoying.

 

I called MINI Mania 1 800 94MANIA and talked to Dennis @ ext.47; he said the stock R50 Cooper clutch and pressure plate will fit the MCS model Fidanza flywheel.

 

The stock pressure plate will fit a Fidanza flywheel.

Just make sure they send you the right bolts with it. Don't assume they'll fit.

(I don't mean to say there are more than one spec of bolts; just that there are stories out there of receiving the wrong bolts in the package)

 

I almost did this myself when the dealer was replacing my clutch and flywheel under warranty.

I didnt because I heard from 4 different MINI tuners that unless you use the RPS (dual mass flywheel) You'll have a BAD noise coming from the combo everytime you take off from a start.
