GAAHHT DAMN!!!! What exactly has to happen? I know how it's done for RWD, but always been curious how much has to be dissassembled for a MINI. Just a short explanation if you could. Haven't found any youtube vids with a step by step layout.
How many hours was that and at what rate of labour? I think labour rates here are about $85 an hour. Might be more though. So it would definitely make sense to do an lsd install at the same time as the clutch/ fly wheel

Installing a LSD would probably add another 1.5 hours to the total. If my car didn't have only 25K miles I would have had the clutch done at the same time.

You have to drop the whole front subframe on the MINI to get access to drop the transmission. Then you get to put it all together again. A much more intensive job on a FWD car!
Yea, I found a vid on Youtube with a master tech had one all apart doing this job. Makes me wish I would've gone ahead and studied auto mechanics in college, then gone to BMW for a job. Jeeezz that's gonna be expensive here!!!
