True Engineers do not think of us laymen i work in HVAC/R

steven watt thanks for sharing ... really glad to hear you tackled that within that time frame... I’m gonna upload a few more on the MINI Cooper S and Cooper D which garages are charging a fortune .. it can be done within 3 to 4 hrs without removing completely the front end .. thanks for your review

thats fast 5hours for the first time

Brendan Brady fan This one actually wasn’t too bad when it comes to mini. The cooperS (supercharged) is a bit more complex.

Hundáis are more simple

Thanks for the review.., I suppose it’s a bit more to take out. But it’s d it’s a project and you’ve got the tools then give it a start ...the video will guide you.

I’ll do another video .., which shows you don’t even have to touch the subframe at all...

Did the job today and managed without touching the subframe. Thanks again for the video guide.

Thank you Allan. Kind regards.

Juan Lopez thanks for visiting the channel.

@Juan Lopez - Just line them up or get a cardboard box and number it in stages. I starting to develop short term memory and that is what I do. Sometimes it does get hard, but I get a marker + tape and number them too.

Zsolt Kovacs thanks for the review

😂😂😆

427les only loosen the engine side. Only remove gearbox side.

Thanks ..,,

Chloe your parts supplier should be able to narrow that down for you with their parts catalogue..

A bit hard to diagnose without physically testing it ..,, but based on what you’ve written I’d say it’s the DMF if it was the gearbox you’d know about it after a few yards driving.

Ian Aero I turn it down. I only work on driveway or parking space....

yuri zdrak Pretty much the same except watch out for the small air pipes that runs alongside the front ends they tend to break quite easily. Make sure the” O” ring for the air intake for the inter cooler is a 100% seal otherwise it will dump excess fuel in the exhaust causing it to heat up to the point where it glows bright orange.

Robert Vaughn Lol. Gonna upload another vid of another mini in a few minutes

Kevin Williams thanks Kevin. I will look into those air pipes. Where do they lead to? I never pull on things and prefer doing things with care.

Robert Vaughn Gonna upload a video of your particular model now. It cost about £480

yuri zdrak They run from the back of the throttle body to the bulk head. One runs directly. I front of a bolt. You’d be tempted to push it to the side to access the bolt. And it will snap.

You did a great job on that mini, Kev, and thanks for being flexible while I sourced a new gearbox. I’ll be using you again for any big jobs like this.

Jessica Mills it sounds like your clutch pressure plate has gone faulty. One way to eliminate a gearbox issue. Is to try all the gears with the engine switched off. If it goes into gear then your gearbox is fine. And to eliminate any issues with the hydraulic maybe not compressing the pressure plate enough. Is to see wether your clutch pedal comes back up all the way without any free play right at the top. Hope that helps. Have a great Christmas and happy new year 🥳.... and thanks for visiting the channel

@@WMCS thank you.. but no it only goes into gear when turned on. And only 5th 4th. My dad said something about a pressure plate also.. the last time I drove it everytime I let off the gas I heard a grinding sound but when I touch gas it stopped idk.. I know I put fluid in the S.Cylinder an lubed up linkages under hood and under gear shifter an for a moment it went into every gear but first. I have a feeling I'm looking at a new pressure plate but the clutch petal does come up fine like you said.. so maybe the gearbox??? And if so would it be easier to just get a new transmission?? Thank you for taking time to respond, I really need help, I love that little car

I strongly suggest linkage bushing replacements. $22 on eBay, and replacing your clutch which comes with a pressure plate and throw out bearing. Also if you do switch out the tranny, upgrade to the 04 - 06 getrag cause they are Superior

This particular model is the easiest.,, about 5 hours. .,,

Turbo891 Hi. Check the second part of video or check the channel there is another one with the full step guide. Thanks.

Thanks for the support Walley Man🍻

D Booyaj if you look through the channel I’ve posted another version of this repair that’s a lot quicker and do not require that much stripping down. Let me know what you think

@@WMCS the 04-06 R50s have getrag transmission with linkage in different locations and my subframe and bumper are already on the ground. I'm gonna put my engine lift over my engine from the driver side to support the engine then use ratchet straps to hold the clutch housing while I unbolt it. From there I'll pick it up and set it down gently or use my floor jack in some way. Maybe to support the engine while I lower the clutch housing. Thank you!!

D Booyaj sounds like a good plan. Let us know how you get on. Send us some pics I’d possible Email : www.williamsmobileclutch.co.uk

Very difficult

Quick jack are for RWD .., front wheel drive I only need to navigate under the front end only..., you can actually leave the subframe and whole lot in place. .., I will do an updated video on how not to remove any of the pipes. Unless you’re changing the gearbox.

Kevin-Albert Williams one other question, what waterproofs do you use?

Dan Mcmahon I have a variety of waterproofs. .., 1.padded goretex 2. Heated winter thermal( battery operated) 3. Padded parka 4.padded bomber. All waterproof. Waterproof boots also.

@@WMCS Sounds also bulletproof to me! When I look at your videos I always think how can you go through those colds, but now I am relived that you take well care of yourself! Respect for the work!

😂😂😁.,, funny that was ..🍻🍻🍻

MoietyKiller Yes. It’s exactly the same.

@@WMCS So would this be the easiest way to go about changing my clutch? How long did it take you to complete the job? Do you have the torque specs for the flywheel and clutch plate?

MoietyKiller My videos are for viewing purposes only. Just displaying my own work. I can’t advise on your own repair.

@@WMCS Oh...I thought you would have the OEM Torque specs. Thanks for getting back to me though.

beto garal thanks ... you do need to remove all three starter motor bolts. But the starter motor itself can remain in situ...

@@WMCS Thanks!! do you have a second part for this video

@@WMCS is any difference for a 2008 R56 turbo

beto garal if you look through the channel. There are more videos with mini gearbox.

beto garal the R56 the process is still the same. Except for one bolt which is located behind the Cat converter. But it can be undone fairly easily

Carl Wolstenholme I’m not a chatter at the best of times. 😊. This job would cost about £430

@@WMCS is that with supplying the clutch Kevin?

Carl Wolstenholme yes that is for the whole job including gearbox oil.

@@WMCS Here in the US job like this cost over $2000!

@@WMCS that's including all parts and labour??

fatwalletboy2 bmw probably would charge you a yard. ..

fatwalletboy2 I’ve got other videos of the gearbox fitting.

bingyu he of course. Fire away.

@@WMCS why we need to change clutch？what is wrong for transmission？

bingyu he because the friction materials wears down. A bit like the sole of your shoes. ... then you replace and happy days again.

@@WMCS do you know how to remove 2013mini cooper gearbox, I had a problem stop here, pls help me, thank you so much!

bingyu he where about are you mate. And what sort of problem are you having

This is not true

Mateusz Jankowski 😁😊... it’s not a bad job. Usually it takes me about 4 hours to replace the clutch. This one was a bit more in depth as I had to replace the gearbox....

Herbert Bruins lol. Believe it or not .. all this and back on the road within 4 hours. 💫

You’re on the wrong channel .,, this here is only for the intelligent who has superpowers to understand what’s happening😁✨🥸

I’ve heard the price of them is around the £500 mark with the clutch worn. The repair cost incl genuine parts is well under £500 if I’m doing it.

@@WMCS wow that's crazy..your videos are awesome by the way

.

Thanks for supporting the channel and for the feedback. Really appreciated.
