I hope someone from the manufacturer reads these reviews. I did before purchasing this, and read about some packaging issues, but didn't expect it would be this bad. The product seems OK, if a little dinged up on arrival. The packaging is just totally unacceptable. Literally, the four parts that come with the kit are just kind of randomly piled in a box that is not much thicker than a cereal box, no dividers between them, no padding, nothing to keep them from sliding around and banging each other up. Bolts just sliding around in the bottom of the box, and a little wad of kraft paper on the top. The damage seems to be mostly cosmetic in my case, and I don't really care what clutch looks like, but it really doesn't inspire confidence in a manufacturer when their product arrives looking all beat up.UPDATE: When I went to install this item, I found that half the bolts were missing and one of the locator studs on the flywheel was snapped off. I'm returning this and going with another brand.

I installed this on my car and have helped install on several other MINI Coopers and everyone loves it!Light pedal feel, smooth engagement and no more Chewbacca dual max flywheel chatter.The flywheel is approximately two pounds lighter than stock. Car remains very drivable but does feel just a bit more agile.No issues installing on cars making up to 250HP.I've had no problems with packaging or missing/broken parts. This is a great replacement for the OEM setup.Nobody paid me to write this, I just think this is a great aftermarket clutch option and an excellent choice for the MINI.Note - this part fits 2002-2006 MINI Cooper S and 2004-2008 MINI Cooper S convertible. (R52, R53). It doesn't fit the base non-Cooper S - they have totally different flywheels, throwout bearings and input shafts.I made a video on how to install a clutch/flywheel in a First generation MINI Cooper S. The clutch I install in the video is not a Valeo but the procedure is identical. Search for it on YouTube.

It’s a good product clutch grabs good my only complaint is the pedal is a little lighter compared to stock you do get a 60ft lb increase

Valeo pacakaging box does does seperate the flywheel from clutch disk or pressure plate, flywheel weighs over 35lbs. Amazon box twice as large, no foam to prevent movement, just brown paper. Clutch disk damaged and pressure plate marred. I recommend you purchase items seperately.

Ordered this clutch conversion kit for my 05 Mini R53, hell of a job to fit. Once fitted the gears were hard to engage. Contacted Valeo, said it could be air in the system or a bad pressure plate. Fitted a new slave cylinder and bled several times, with no difference to the hard shifting. Had to buy another clutch and now the problem is sorted, the brand new first clutch was faulty.
