| Got the same problem on an 02 S. Chewbacca when pulling off. Not all the time. And of course, never when there is a mechanic around!!! But clutch works fine. Its just really annoying. Seems to be a common problem, with no ill effects except for the annoying noise. And no one is sure why it happens. Some people had their clutch changed just to have the noise come back a few weeks later. Lots of posts on all MINI forums about this. |
