MELO-R56 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 I was at MINI of Sterling yesterday for their Service Clinic. I had my water pump replaced under warranty (woo hoo!) with an aluminum version that should take care of the leakage the plastic ones are prone to. They did a great job of talking me through everything and I even had a one on one with their service tech Brian. He patiently answered all of my questions and pleasantly walked me through the ons and outs of my car's health. Turns out, my clutch is slipping, and needs to be serviced. My clutch pedal engages at about 3/4 of the way up, and they recommended I have it fixed. Unknown weather the flywheel will need to be replaced until it's opened up for service. They quoted me a rather expensive price to fix it. Does anyone know if any of our vendors can do this job, maybe P-Tuning or GT-Peace?

Lt. Dan Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 I actually have an R56 here right now for the same problem... :idea:
NYRican MC40 Posted December 27, 2016 Report Posted December 27, 2016 I believe that PTuning does the job. I think they posted something not to long ago about a clutch job
MELO-R56 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Report Posted December 27, 2016 I'm in contact with P-Tuning and will most likely have them do the job. Dealer prices are outrageous! :stupid: (we all know that!) Gotta get my little MINI back up and running.

Lt. Dan Posted December 27, 2016 Report Posted December 27, 2016 a clutch job with flywheel on an R56 is NOT CHEAP!!!
1975_mini Posted January 1, 2017 Report Posted January 1, 2017 a clutch job with flywheel on an R56 is NOT CHEAP!!! You have to dropping the subframe to get to it, not going to be cheap. It's a good amount of work to replace. My favorite is the oil filter housing gasket on an N14, part cost like 5 bucks, but it's a thousand dollars in labor to replace it. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
