Bought a 2003 Mini Cooper S JCW, it's a 6 speed manual transmission, is the transmission different between the S and JCW? Or will any transmission from an S will fit?
2002-2006 6-speed transmissions will definitely fit. The only differences between an S and JCW were minor parts of the engine (larger valves, 11% reduction pulley, etc.).

Is it true the JCW has larger valves - I've read the only difference between heads was some mild port work?
