Image shown is an approximation and not the actual product.

Kits are available with sprung or unsprung (solid hub) clutch disks. Select the Clutch Kit with the unsprung (solid hub) clutch disk if you have a Dual Mass Flywheel like the stock unit. If you are using an aftermarket lightweight 'solid' flywheel, select the Clutch Kit with the sprung clutch disk.

This Kit includes:

  • High clamp pressure plate
  • Steel-backed sprung hub clutch disk
  • Throwout bearing

Stage 2 Performance Clutch Kit for the MINI is a perfect upgrade for the Cooper with some performance modifications and used in an occasional autocross or 'driver education' events.

Features pure segmented kevlar disc with steel backing. This lining features excellent drivability like the Stage 1, but offers slightly longer life and higher torque capacity. Best for street, drag, pulling and autocross.

For the Stage 1 Kit, see NMG1610.

Spec High Clamp Load Pressure Plates are standard with all performance kits. These plates can feature clamp loads from 20%-40% higher than original equipment and have a very reasonable pedal requirement. The exclusive 360 degree pivot technology assures a perfectly even lift and disc clamp, maximized leverage, more consistent clamp load and minimized wear.

Recommeded Torque (at Flywheel):

STAGE 1 STAGE 2 STAGE 2+ STAGE 3 STAGE 3+
175 ft lbs 205 ft lbs n/a 240 ft .bs n/a

Stages 1-3+ recommended for street/strip Stages 4-5 Race only.

R55 / R56 MCS Clutch Bleeding Instructions
Created: March 29, 2011
The clutch operates using brake fluid. It draws off the brake fluid reservoir via a black tube on the side. Fluid flows from the reservoir into the cylinder above the clutch pedal (when there is a negative pressure). Then when the pedal is pushed the pedal cylinder pushes fluid through the tube into the clutch slave cylinder which activates the clutch.
