Hi theminiv and minimattmarvel

If you do a forum search using gearbox as the keyword you'll see that this is a recurring problem.

The gearbox on my ONE went earlier this month after a couple of weeks of intermittent problems with 1st gear. Car is only 16 mths old and 11500 miles on the clock. Brand new gearbox fitted.

Check out the following thread -

Just out of interest what is the build date of your cars? M2 was told by his dealer that there was a batch of dodgy gearboxes after his car suffered a failure at 4,000 miles. His build is Apr 02 and mine is Feb 02. Two forum members who have had new gearboxes fitted have similar build dates on their cars.
