Offline  | 2005 tranny with LSD retrofit question... Hi MINI2 members!! I've been having some problems with my dealer... They are installing a 2005 tranny with LSD on my 2003 MCS. (built date 09-2002) Does anyone know if the 2003 shifter cables will fit on a 2005 tranny? Are they the same lenght? The dealer say it will fit with my current cables (2003)... But my Montreal's dealer say no. And my favorite MINI shop says no too... My car is currently at the dealer in Miami... I'd need to get an answer ASAP. I took my car back yesterday evening and returned it to the dealer 5 minutes later because the shifter would no engage in R,1,3,5 gears. The advisor says it is because his tech forgot to install the clips on the cables... But my favorite MINI shop (Bimmershop) told me I'd need 2005 cables... Anyone knows the answer to that 1million $ question?? Please help me! |

Offline | I can tell you that there aint no clips in the cables on a 2003.......so I am guessing your service advisor is full of shet and you indeed need different cables. Of course a visit to the parts counter at the same dealership could answer your question lickety split...... |

Offline | There are clips on my '02. They are the locator clips for the cables where they enter the dust cover. Look and work just like old brake cable locator clips on GmM and other, vehicles. In the '70s anyway   2003 parts: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...& hg=25&fg=05 2005 parts http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...& hg=25&fg=05 |
