Hello all,

My Mini's been acting up lately and was wondering if anyone has experienced similar things. I have a 2012 Countryman S with manual transmission. When I press the ignition button the car sometimes will suddenly jerk. I've tried this both while I press on the clutch and have the 1st gear engaged and when I press on the clutch and have the gear in neutral. I'm leaning to either it's a clutch or engine mount issue.

I don't know if this is related, but when I'm backing up and turning the steering wheel on either direction I can hear the car squealing.

Thanks in advance!
