Hi can anyone help

I have an 02 mini one and i noticed that when i set off my car seem to rumble and grind as though my wheels where sticking, then yesterday when i attempted to change gear into second the car suddenly seized and i could not get it in to any gear, i called the AA when he arrived he tried to free wheel with the clutch in but it was solid, so the flat back lorry brought me home.

I went to check it this morning and it had freed but when i drive it now there is a lound grinding noise in 1st and 2nd, i could descirbe it as not getting clutch control and the car judders.

Help

not too sure mate. post this in the R50-R53 section as your car (being an 02) is an R50. You may get better responses there.


Thanks for this post from:

Yes sounds like the gearbox is U/S faulty differential.
