Clutch Masters 14-19 Mini Cooper S 2.0L Turbo FX300 Clutch Kit Rigid Disc
This is the Clutch Masters FX300 clutch kit with a rigid disc (03460-HDTZ-R) for the 2014-2019 Mini Cooper S with the 2.0L turbo engine and manual transmission. It is for owners whose tuned Cooper S has started slipping in the upper gears once boost builds, or who are about to add a tune, intake and downpipe and want a clutch that will hold the extra torque on the street without the harsh feel of a ceramic race disc.
A tune on the 2.0L turbo adds most of its gain as low and midrange torque, and that is exactly where a factory clutch gives up first. The FX300 uses the Clutch Masters Power Plus I heavy-duty pressure plate with a steel-backed segmented Kevlar disc. Splitting the friction surface into segments raises the clamping pressure per square inch, which is how Clutch Masters gets 110 percent more holding capacity than stock while keeping good disc life. The Kevlar is non-abrasive and will not score the flywheel. The maker positions the FX300 for medium-boost turbo or supercharged cars and heavily tuned naturally aspirated engines, with only slightly higher pedal effort and positive engagement. It is a street clutch: Clutch Masters recommends it for the road, not track use.
The -R suffix means a rigid disc, with no springs in the hub. Clutch Masters builds this same kit as 03460-HDTZ-D with a dampened hub. Generally a rigid disc is the one run when the flywheel provides the damping, such as a dual-mass unit, while a dampened disc suits a single-mass flywheel. Confirm what flywheel is in your car before ordering, and contact us if you are unsure which version you need.
Use a scan tool to log engine rpm against vehicle speed during a full-throttle pull in fourth gear; if rpm rises faster than speed while boost builds, the clutch is slipping. Check the clutch hydraulics for leaks or a spongy pedal first. A BMW and Mini scan tool makes the logging easy, and our transmission slipping diagnosis guide explains how to tell clutch slip from other drivetrain faults.
We list this kit for the 2014-2019 Mini Cooper S 2.0L turbo with a manual transmission. The Clutch Masters application chart for 03460-HDTZ-R lists the Cooper S 2.0L turbo 2014-2020, Cooper Clubman 2.0L turbo 2016-2020 and Cooper Countryman 2.0L turbo 2017-2020. It does not fit the 1.5L three-cylinder Cooper, automatic cars or the earlier 1.6L turbo Cooper S. Send us your year and VIN if your car is a Clubman, Countryman, JCW or has a non-factory flywheel, and we will confirm the right part. More clutch kits are in the rebuild kits collection.
If your car makes less power and you want lighter engagement, the FX250 rigid kit for the same Cooper S is the step below this one. A clutch alignment tool set is handy if you do clutch work on more than one car.
