Yea, just remove the clutch start safety override button that should be located behind the clutch if it is like most cars.

 

Looking For a How To on Clutch Replacement on an R53.
I have an 2004 S, but I'm assuming there all the same from 02-05.

So far the only thing I've seen is that the VALEO OE CLUTCH KIT is the best bang for the buck. Other than that I'm not seeing much.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

I have all the software and a cable just need to know how to load the JCW map on my 06MCS R53 for the 380cc injector upgrade

 

Replacing front and rear struts on 2007 Cooper

 

Removing exterior door handles r53

 

I have a 2002 JCW engine with low millage that I would like to put into my 2006 r53. I figure that i need to put the JCW computer in, but are there any other issues that I need to be aware of? I am guessing that My existing Borla exhaust will mate up?

 

Everything should match up as long as you use your existing transmission and all mounts from the 2006.
And no, you won't need the ECU from the 2002, your ECU will adapt just fine to the small differences in the engines.

 

thanks for the info
