02-06 Mini Cooper & Cooper S Flywheels
A lightweight flywheel is a great addition to any car. A lighter flywheel drastically reduces the rotating mass attached to your crankshaft, allowing your car to rev and accelerate faster. There are a variety of flywheel styles and weights available for the 02-06 Mini Cooper & Cooper S. Some people find extremely light flywheels uncomfortable for daily driven applications. Please call and speak with a sales representative for more information.
- A Note on Solid vs. Dual Mass Flywheels:
- Mini Coopers are designed with a dual mass (or sprung) flywheel and a solid hub clutch. A solid after market light weight flywheel will require the use of a sprung hub clutch kit to maintain the correct clutch feel and operation. Please contact a sales representative for any questions on this matter.

SPEC aluminum flywheels are CNC machined and exceed SFI standards for high stress racing applications. These units are recommended for highly modified street or racing vehicles, and for mildly modified street cars that can benefit from reduced rotating mass without the loss of daily drivability. The body of the flywheel is made of tempered aluminum, either 6061 T6 or 2024 T3, for ultimate strength and lightest possible weight. The 1/4 inch thick friction plate is a 1050 high carbon alloy, for incredible durability with any friction disc material, even iron. The plates are secured to the body by aerospace fasteners. The ring gears are pressed on and secured with grade 10 fasteners. The gear is also heat treated for added durability and longevity.
