Mini Cooper.....gearbox problems.....best route to fix?
Discussion
My wife has an 02 reg Mini cooper, which has FBMSH and is pretty mint despite having done 90k miles....
The gearbox is making a grinding noise which I assume is the 'box telling me it is knackered....
I understand that this is a common problem on the early Minis and am wiondering how best to fix it
The car is only worth say £2.5k so I am looking at a cost effective solution as other than the 'box problem it is a really nice little car
Can anyone guide me how to fix this as cheaply as poss...am I better fitting a new gearbox or recon the old one, or do I try and repair the existing one etc?
