The MINI coopers gearbox can't handle much more power than the standard cooper has. (torque is limited electronically in first and second in the JCW works cooper to prevent damage).
How easy will it be to replace the gearbox with a 6speed Getrag 'box like the cooperS.

I'm starting to feel that modifying the Cooper may be more hassle than it's worth considering the amount of extra torque handling mod's the Cooper S has been given. (extra drive shaft bearing, stronger gearbox)

TRADE IN IMMINENT
