Gearbox Emergency!!

[mini saltire]

For the race Mini I need a pre 2004 facelift 5 speed Mini Cooper Gearbox!! My race engineer has just found metal in the gear oil so I need to replace before the first meeting :eek: which is a week on Saturday. Any help in sourcing a good 2nd hand box would be greatly appreciated.

Try these guys 1320 Autos (http://www.1320autos.com/cgi-bin/viewPage.cgi?linkId=670&languageId=1) They usually have minis in for breaking and know their stuff

Different ratios between one and cooper and obviously the S is a 6 speed box.

Sadly with reconditioned Citroen inners which are not allowed!!:( :(

Any other ideas??

[Craig]

ah, OK...

what about. http://www.findagearbox.co.uk/ might be worth a try.

my neighbour wrote off their MINI the other week, but it is a one, so not any good...

Have you tried local scrap yards? Forsyths in Denny have a lot of cars... 01324 822141

or www.eurocarparts.com ?

also http://www.247spares.co.uk/ say they have gearboxes in stock, but then they would...

best of luck mark, hope you get one sorted.. obviously driving too good in practice..;)
