2006 mini cooper S Automatic to manual transmission swap??
Hey guys, I have a 2006 Mini cooper S with an Automatic transmission. It has been giving me some problems lately and I am wondering if there are any DIY threads on swapping over to a manual transmission. I have done these swaps on Honda Civic's in the past and I can't imagine it would be too difficult to do in the Mini. If I were to do it, I would probably buy a wrecked M/T cooper for a donor car. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

1. Manual Transmission
2. Clutch Brake Pedal Assembly (pre facelift have different clutch sensor setup)
3. Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder
4. Feeder Line from Brake Master Cylinder
5. Fluid Line from Clutch Master to Clutch Slave
6. Clutch/Pressure Plate/Throw Out Bearing Assembly (18 tooth)
7. Left and Right Axles
8. Flywheel
9. Shifter Assembly
10. Wire clutch sensor to ECU, repin ecu (pins are blocked off drill out or find new harness connector and repin the whole thing)
11. Find someone who knows how to reprogram all the computers in the car from automatic to manual coding.
I do not know anyone that's done it, it's more common on bmw's and its the same procedure

I was in construction and built some very special stuff. One of my sayings was that with enough time and money there was not too much that could not be accomplished. On your auto to stick issue, IMO the saying would hold. It comes down to how much time and money you want to spend.
How many miles on the car? You the first owner? Has the transmission been serviced recently?
