Hey all, I recently went to my dealer with a slight intermittent knocking noise coming from the clutch when I release it. This noise will also be there when I slow down in a high gear just before putting the clutch in. As the engine goes to about 1000 rpm, the slight knock occurs.

They said it was the gearbox, so they replaced it. (20000) miles. - Got the car back, its a 2006 mini one, so a gertrag box. Now the reverse gear goes in without any grinding??!?!! Have they modified it??

But the worst thing is, the knocking noise when lifting the clutch is still there!!!! - I not taking it again until its next service, but what could this be??!!

Also just for info. Although my gearbox was replaced under warranty, value of the work was £2500 TRADE!! Ouch!

Any info would be appreciated.
