My second gearbox has a bit of syncromesh issues going hard from 1st gear into second, and is out of warranty so it's makes no sense to install another standard Midlands.I am led to believe that Minimania has solved the problem and will probably go that direction when the time comes.What's a good clutch replacement for the One/Cooper but not compromizing day to day driveability? you might as well if you have the transmission out.Thanks in advance

1320Autos... Been to their place and they have a few gearboxes available... They have a website too so worth having a look and giving them a call...

The number of broken gearboxes we have all heard about leads me to suspect there is a mountain of them somewhere - ready for reconditioning.

Wonder where it is ????????
