What happened to your old engine?

crank broke + overheat becuz of the head engine .. so generally its useless or costly to fix.

I'm certainly no expert, however, IMHO the JCW engine and your transmission will not match without some part changes. I THINK all JCW cars are manual transmissions, and if I'm correct on that, your auto transmission will not directly bolt up to that engine. In all the cars I've ever worked on, the manual transmission vs the auto transmission requires at least a different flywheel as well as a few other parts. Also, I'm not sure the standard mini automatic transmission will, over the long haul, take the hp of the JCW engine w/o beefing it up some.
