Luk DMF201 Clutch Flywheel

LuK DMF201 Dual Mass Flywheel

The LuK DMF201 is a clutch flywheel engineered as a dual mass flywheel for drivetrain vibration control. It uses two rotating masses and an integrated arc-spring damping system to reduce torsional vibration transfer from the engine to the transmission.

• Dual mass flywheel design for smoother drivetrain operation
• Integrated arc springs absorb engine torsional vibrations
• OE-style replacement for select Mini Cooper applications
• Built for transmission and clutch service on 2009-2012 Mini Cooper models
• Part number: DMF201

How the DMF Works

Unlike a conventional solid flywheel, this LuK dual mass flywheel separates the assembly into two masses that rotate against each other. That design helps isolate vibration before it reaches the clutch and transmission, supporting quieter operation and more consistent driveline behavior. This part cross-references Sachs DMF91165 and Valeo 836275 for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 2009-2012 Mini Cooper, N/A

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Excessive drivetrain vibration
• Clutch shudder during engagement
• Rattling or knocking from the flywheel area
• Harsh engine-to-transmission vibration transfer
• Wear-related flywheel noise on Mini Cooper models

Installation Notes

Confirm the existing flywheel style and match the application before installation. Inspect the clutch assembly, release components, and related drivetrain parts during service, since flywheel replacement is often performed alongside clutch work. Verify fitment by year and model for 2009-2012 Mini Cooper applications before ordering.

Quality Assurance

LuK, part of Schaeffler, introduced dual mass flywheel technology to help control torsional vibration in the drivetrain. The DMF201 reflects that OE-focused engineering approach for select Mini Cooper service applications.
