Performance Lightweight Single Mass Flywheel upgrade for the 3rd generation F-Series MINI Cooper S models.
Fits the following Cooper S models with the Manual Transmission:
2014-2019 F56 MINI Cooper S Hardtop
2015-2019 F55 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 4-Door
2016-2019 F57 MINI Cooper S Convertible
2016-2019 F54 MINI Cooper S Clubman
2017-2019 F60 MINI Cooper S Countryman
The stock Dual Mass flywheel in your MINI was designed to improve comfort by absorbing some of the 'shock' when engaging the gears for smoother shifts and also to dampen some of the harmonic vibrations transmitted thru the crankshaft. The two plates in the dual mass flywheel can rotate as much as 70 degrees in both directions to accomplish this dampening.
Although the design of the dual mass flywheel is plenty strong for normal driving, it may not be suitable for MINIs that are driven in a 'spirited' manner, or for those MINIs that have been modified for more horsepower. The combination of greater torque and rapid engagement from a performance clutch can damage the stock dual mass flywheel.
These are the reasons why this single mass solid flywheel is being offered as a performance upgrade. Fewer moving parts means fewer parts with a potential to fail. There may be a slight increase in NVH but it is usually imperceptible.
NOTES:
MINI specifies new Flywheel Bolts when servicing the Flywheel.
Tightening torque
Flywheel bolts: 88.50 ft lbs. (120 Nm)
Pressure Plate bolts: 11.06 ft lbs. plus 90° (15 Nm plus 90°)
