Clonking from engine bay - MINI Cooper Forum

Hi all

Had my new 05 Cooper about a week now, and am noticing a 'clonking noise' from the engine bay (front near side I think), mainly when in first gear and depressing the clutch to change between 1st 2nd etc. Also sometimes when engaging first from a stand-still there is a clonk and you can feel a very SLIGHT 'jerk'.

I am not sure if this is a characteristic or something is wrong. I've covered about 350 miles so far.

Does anyone elses 05 Cooper make this noise??

Thanks

Check your oil and hope you have some in there!

As Mario says - but I think you need to better explain the problem

I guess my gearbox "clunks" but I don't have any problems (with the car

)

I'm no mechanic but it sounds like your clutch may be sticking a little. Should/may loosen up with a little wear.
