I know you did this video years ago, but I'd like to thank you for doing it. This has helped me quite a bit. I'm halfway through this job (Just got the flywheel off), and I'm just doing about an hour or so of work a day. I don't think I've ever cursed an engineer out more than I have working on a mini, so I'm thankful for folks like you that can share some wisdom so that I can save a ton of money and a tiny bit of my sanity.

@lyleweaver7040 7 месяцев назад

I just did this job. This video super helpful. After I put it all back together, I had trouble with the DSC and brake lights on the dash. You have to make sure you don’t accidentally turn the steering wheel while it’s disconnected or you will get all kinds of error codes. Make sure you take it apart straight and keep it in the same position when you put it back together. Also, make sure you unplug the power steering plugs as other commenters have said. That is one thing missing in this video.

Awesome vid, quite thorough...however...at around 5:50 you can see 2 connectors on the power steering module on the steering rack. I never saw you mention those 2 needed unplugged and I dropped my subframe and they...disconnected themselves. 😞 Hopefully they'll clip back on or I'll have to zip tie them. Just wanted to share in case anyone else is doing this clutch work!

I'm also thinking of attempting this on axle stands, however I think I'm going to take the front off and pull the engine and gearbox out and whilst its all out walnut blast the inlets? God these cars are hard work but when they are running right they are a blast!! Already done timing chain and valve stem seals in situ so might as well do the clutch LOL.

@alexnicolaou3579 2 года назад

Excellent video, however this may actually make me have second thoughts about buying an R56 fixer-upper project car :/ specially without a car lift and indoor workspace, i think something like a miata would be a better DIY project, there's people who drop and install gearboxes on them in a matter of 2-3 hours, alone, on jack stands

@justineverely9961 2 года назад

I have a 2009 cooperS. Shifter is not sloppy, when I let the clutch out it just sits there like it’s in neutral. I can go through the gears with the engine running with NO grinding. Does that sound like a clutch problem? Any help is greatly appreciated from anyone. Thank you.

I was wondering what kind of gloves you use when you're working on these cars. I have a tendency to cut up my hands when I'm working on my 1st gen mini, and I've been trying to find gloves that I could use to help prevent this. Love the videos, I'm about to replace my cv axles using your tutorials. Thanks in advance!

@losantonio9049 6 месяцев назад

There noise coming from my trans but only while in transition of shifting gears until clutch is either fully engaged or disengaged. Noise only occurs during clutch pedal action and most noticeable when down shifting. Can it be clutch or internal bearings?

@turbomarch7275 Год назад

Using this video every step of the way on my mini clutch install, however I’m install a twin disc clutch and it’s a nightmare to get the gearbox back onto the engine and everything to line up. Gave up today, back onto it tomorow. Just wanted to say thanks for a great video!

@KPalmAir Год назад

Super helpful, thank you! Finding I can do it without having to put it into service mode means I should be able to get it done in a weekend! Also thank you for the clutch and flywheel links, Amazon was cheaper than anywhere else I could find for good name brand stuff, I hope you have affiliate links set up and get a little cut!

@bobbys6364 3 года назад

Without a car lift and transmission jack, my experience tells me that removing the engine out if the front of the car with trans attached is easier than trying to remove the subframe and doing all the work of removing and aligning the transmission from underneath the car. Maybe even easier than if you have the lift etc..... but I've never done it that way.

@ModMINI 3 года назад

Well yes, if you have a cherry picker and don't mind the extra disassembly, you trade time for needing less heavy tools. it's definitely more time consuming to remove entire engine. You can also use a cherry picker to suspend the transmission, taking the weight off and making easier to align from the top.

@rue2973 Год назад

To be fair, and im not at all saying that the clutch isnt the issue here, but its also common for bad engine mouts to actually pull on the shift linkage when the engine is under load especially going up hill pulling it out of 6th gear and into neutral.

@Shockernor 2 года назад

I have a lot of pretty heavy vibrations on lower RPM in my 2012 Mini Coupe when i accelerate (in almost all gears, worse the lower the gear), and it smells really burned when I floor it, signs of a bad clutch? It can slip, but very rearly.

@ModMINI 2 года назад

Hard to say but if it smells burned, probably clutch.

@underourrock Год назад

Working on this now. Don't know if you'll see my question, but just in case: Do you know how much I can lower the engine safely while only one mount is connected? I have the transmission mounts removed and I need to lower the engine/transmission down to my lift. I think my gap is too high and I'll need to come up with a stack of wood or something to lower it onto. Don't know what my target is for how much I should lower the engine at most. I hope this was clear. Edit: I've got it down to 3" of engine lowering with a solid wood base on my lift. I'm hoping that lowering 3" is okay on the other mount. Will take it slow and see if I can tell if there is a problem.

@paddybarnwell2971 2 года назад

@skinnybuddhaman Год назад

Hi Mod Mini, Great video and a fan as well. I am using this video to replace the rear main seal on my 2007 R56 automatic, as it's mostly the same procedure except for some linkage parts on top of bell housing and removing the torque converter on the engine block side. Question for you... Are any of the screws / bolts removed, especially for the clutch and or torque converter (in my case) areas 1 time use? or can they be reused? There is a round crank hub cover with 6 - 13mm bolts that hold it on and they were very hard to loosen, but all came out. When I tried to re-install these however, they seem to stop about 1/16" to 1/8" before being flush and I am afraid they might break off with the extreme force needed to re-tighten these bolts. Thanks for your time and looking forward to your response.

@ModMINI Год назад

Pretty sure all bolts are reusable but do google search as I don't know about the flex plate.

@richmr2174 Год назад

Hi there. I am prepping to do this over the weekend (2009 R56/N12, base Cooper) and have been watching this video every day for the last few days. I have been seeing conflicting info on reusing the transmission fill and drain plugs or not. Additionally I am seeing conflicting info on using the Redline MTL Transmission Fluid for the GS6-55BG transmission. Folks say no but other data states the Redline MTL is a valid replacement for the BMW part number listed in the Bentley manual. Do you have opinions/experience on either of these two questions? I appreciate your time.

Just about the most insane clutch job I've seen - what is the going shop rate for one of these?

@ProfessorFate Год назад

My daughter in LA has a 2013 cooper needing a new clutch at 99k miles. Local dealer wanted $5000 for the clutch and another $2600 to fix various oil leaks. A check with a couple local independent shops wanted at least $3k for the clutch (no quote for oil leaks). She ended up taking a $2000 salvage offer to get rid of the car. This was the last of several money-pit events and she’s glad to be done with it. Pretty ridiculous design that a clutch replacement cost effectively caused scrapping the car that was otherwise in good condition.

@owensmith7530 3 года назад

I'm 55 years old. I have owned 3 cars, the last 2 a Renault 5 GT Turbo that I did 110K miles in and an R53 Cooper S that I have done 70K miles in. And I have NEVER needed to have a clutch changed. Nor have my dad, my mum, or my brother. People keep telling me clutches are a regular service item and they will fail in normal driving. I don't believe them. When I sold the Renault 5 GT Turbo the buyer wouldn't believe it was still on the original clutch until I pointed out I was giving him a pile of paper 2 inches thick of everything that had been done (including replacement turbo) so why would I hide a clutch change? So while I appreciate people doing track days or racing are driving rather differently and may need a clutch change, what is it with clutches needing changing with normal road driving? What are people doing to them? Sitting with their foot on the clutch while stationary at junctions or what?

@ModMINI 3 года назад

Typical repair interval for a Mini Cooper is about 140k miles. It is definitely a wear item, but will last longer if you don't have a lot of stop-and-go driving or if you are skilled in driving a manual transmission.

@owensmith7530 3 года назад

@@ModMINI I've seen clutches listed as something that should be changed every 30K miles. Your 140K miles interval (for a Mini) makes more sense, and I've never got close to that kind of mileage. Thanks for replying, this is something that has always baffled me.
