Hey Miniacs! newb in Philly looking to learn the ropes
Hey everyone new to philly just purchased a mini with a busted clutch for the low low after getting a quote I think I'm gonna tackle this myself as the repair would cost far more than I paid for the car. It's an 03 cooper s. Look forward to getting to know you guys&gals!

Welcome to NAM.
If you have not already done so, suggest you check out the Gen1 Stock Problems/Issues area for info on clutches. Might be able to also pick up some info in the Mod section as well. The tricky part is the rear seal.

I don't have a service manual just loads and loads of diys Related to the clutch I've been searching for and saving. This is my 2nd r53 I had a jcw one 4 years ago a week after purchase a truck ran a red and crushed it.
Any diys related to clutch change you find particularly helpful?
I'm going single mass valeo I'm sure the OG dual mass is still in there
