BMW Performance Clutch Kits & Parts

Advanced Clutch Technology (ACT) designs, engineers and develops products by leveraging decades of track and performance street experience. Advanced CAD, FEA simulation, and CAM tools help ensure highly optimized performance, reliability, and repeatability. These key advantages are produced by combining the best engineering and design methodologies with the latest in materials and manufacturing techniques.

ACT clutch kits stand unequaled in terms of consistent pedal feel, high torque capacity, long wear life and durability. In-house manufacturing is critical in tuning components specifically to each individual application while maintaining the predictable ACT pedal feel across the entire catalog.

This clutch kit features an Xtreme pressure plate, an R6 racing clutch disc, and an XACT Streetlite Flywheel.

Their Xtreme pressure plate offers a 50-120% clamp load increase, moderate to heavy pedal feel, and is recommended for high performance street and racing applications. All diaphragms went through a four stage heating process for increased strength and unparalleled performance.

The R6 clutch disc is an unsprung, rigid 6-pad racing disc that is recommended for drag and road racing and is better at handling high heat than the 4-pad disc. Its material composition is high quality, ceramic friction materials and a chrome-moly hub that has been heat treated for high strength. It has an increased torque capacity, and is better for faster shifting with its low weight and inertia. Being a racing disc, it has good durability, but a shortened spline life due to its rigid design. It also has a fast, aggressive engagement in comparison to standard street-use clutch discs.

The XACT Streetlite Flywheel is their most popular flywheel as it is great for both street and drag racing. It allows your engine to rev quicker, giving you increased throttle response, and is considerably lighter than your stock flywheel thanks to its light single-mass design, all while still being very durable!

Upgrade your Mini's clutch system with JMTC's MINI Cooper S Solid Flywheel Conversion Clutch Kit, a superior alternative to the OEM dual mass flywheel and clutch kit. Engineered for durability and performance, this clutch and solid single mass flywheel replacement ensures reliable power transmission and smoother engagements. Benefits include:

• Direct replacement for OEM dual mass flywheel and clutch kit.
• Interchangeable with OEM clutch sets and components.
• Steel surface can be refinished on the steel flywheel; friction area can be replaced on the aluminum flywheel.
• Enhanced durability and reliability compared to OEM dual mass flywheel.
• Absence of catastrophic failures common in dual mass flywheels.
• Four times thicker friction surface area for better heat absorption and distribution.
• Longer lifespan and reduced risk of glazing the clutch.
• Suitable for street, track, and strip driving.

Features:

• Clutches made with Clutchtex Kevlar and Miba Ceramics.
• Extended life Ceramic clutch pad.
• Includes clutch disc, clutch disc centering tool, pressure plate, release bearing, pressure plate bolts, and steel flywheel.
• Kevlar clutch pads require break-in period; Ceramic pads fully mated in 10-20 miles.

JMTC recommends ordering an installation kit and a new master clutch cylinder for optimal performance and longevity of the clutch system.
