This innovative solution replaces the DMF with a solid flywheel and places the long travel dampers into the clutch disc. This converts it back to a standard clutch. Valeo Conversion Kits are engineered and manufactured to be an eXAct fit. Compatible with Mini Cooper 2001, Mini Cooper 2002 , Mini Cooper 2003, Mini Cooper 2004, Mini Cooper 2005, Mini Cooper 2006, Mini Cooper 2007, Mini Cooper 2008 Review: Great replacement clutch that is growing more affordable - 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. Review: Bad packaging, damaged, parts missing - 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. ## Features - The same installation time as a Dual Mass Flywheel kit - no special tools required. - All new components provide better thermal resistance and full engine gearbox protection - The lightweight kit increases torque transfer efficiency and reduces torsional stress on the crankshaft - Notably reduces the cost of repair when compared to the DMF Kit - Kit contains everything needed to complete the job: Rigid flywheel, flywheel bolts, long travel damper disc, cover assembly, pressure plate bolts, release bearing or CSC and centering tool (available for most popular items) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0049PMBCM | | Additional Features | Lightweight | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,383,242 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #366 in Automotive Replacement Flywheels #1,252 in Automotive Replacement Complete Clutch Sets | | Brand | Valeo | | Color | White | | Compatible Devices | Select Mini Cooper Models, 2002-2008 | | Compatible Phone Models | G5 | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (120) | | Embellishment Feature | No Embellishment | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Finish | Glossy or Matte | | Form Factor | Bumper | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00804163117953 | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Weight | 38.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Valeo Service | | Mfr Part Number | 52151203 | | Model Name | Valeo 52151203 Clutch Kit | | Model Number | 52151203 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pattern | Solid | | Screen Size | 6.5 Inches | | Set Name | Valeo Solid Flywheel Conversion Kit | | Theme | Solid | | UPC | 826732051833 804163117953 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 12 months or 12,000 miles on manufacturing defects | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Valeo - **Color:** White - **Compatible Devices:** Select Mini Cooper Models, 2002-2008 - **Compatible Phone Models:** G5 - **Material:** Metal ## Images ![Valeo 52151203 Solid Flywheel Conversion Kit Compatible with Select Mini Cooper Models, 2002-2008 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614nTQLe3jL.jpg) ![Valeo 52151203 Solid Flywheel Conversion Kit Compatible with Select Mini Cooper Models, 2002-2008 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616sSfIO+DL.jpg) ![Valeo 52151203 Solid Flywheel Conversion Kit Compatible with Select Mini Cooper Models, 2002-2008 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Q59zPj2bL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great replacement clutch that is growing more affordable *by M***I on August 11, 2014* I installed this on my car and have helped install on several other MINI Coopers and everyone loves it!

I drive about 2500-3000 miles a month with half of it highway and the other half in hilly city. Im not feeling any wear and tear and it is preforming great. 2004 Mini Cooper S. Caveat: I had a shop install it for me. I cant comment on the installation. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/14725082-valeo-52151203-solid-flywheel-conversion-kit-compatible-with-select-mini](https://www.desertcart.at/products/14725082-valeo-52151203-solid-flywheel-conversion-kit-compatible-with-select-mini) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
