Almost 215,000 miles on my MINI-growling noise
My 2002 MINI COOPER has a bunch of miles and is starting to make some noises. In second gear mainly when it is cold out or when my car is cold, there is a growling noise at around 2500 rpm. I have no clue why. Anyone have any incite to this problem? Also sometimes when the clutch is in, it grinds gears. Not pleasant to hear. Can someone help me out!? Thanks!!

I can't believe the number of people that have read this post and not respond! What's wrong with people?
Back to your question, with 215 000 miles on your car you need to start thinking of it as your grandfather. Grunts, creaks, gaseous emissions, fluid leaks all come with old age.
Enjoy the experience!

If it only grinds sometimes on clutch engagement have someone check the hydrolics of the system, could just be low & developed some air bubbles.
Not to mention the obvious, is it possibly just clutch time?
And yes have someone drain the tranny & look for signs of excessive wear, or of course the oil/lube may have just broken down too far to do it's job properly.

the second clutch now has 118,000 miles on it so it could be clutch problems. i do not notice any slipping though with the clutch. when i drop the clutch at track day and get the tires spinning a little bit, the clutch does seem different and acts like it doesnt want to let go. thats only when i hammer on it so i dont know.
also i have changed the MTL twice within the last 6 months. i am going to do this often.
