How To Replace A Clutch and Flywheel Mini Cooper S (R56)

This video shows you how to replace the clutch and flywheel on a Mini Cooper S (R56). This information will also apply to clutch replacement in general if you're looking for some tips and tricks for that.

The engine and transmission have been removed from the vehicle in this video. Here is a video showing how to remove the engine and transmission. NOTE: You do not have to remove the engine and transmission to replace the clutch on this vehicle. However, for me, it did make things a lot easier. Given that I was also doing other work to the engine, it made sense for me to remove them.
