Help! 2010 S 6 speed rattle in 3rd gear only!!!
Hi,
I am new here. I am a very mechanical person but this is my first Mini. Had an issue start the past few days. Ever gear shifts into itself nicely. When I let the clutch out while in 3rd gear it sounds similar to a bad u joint when you turn. Increases and decreases with speed. Also does it when engine braking during down shifts. If coasting with no pressure on the gear then no noise. Only noise when under load. Bad Gear? Bad Syncro ring? Bought the car less than a year ago. has 70k on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Weird..are you sure its not your exhaust touching the lower plate/bracket? I had an issue where my exhaust pipe split towards the rear causing it to sag and sit ever so slightly above the plate I'm referring to. The only time it would rattle and hum was in third gear for whatever reason. I'm guessing it did it in higher gears as well but I wasn't able to hear it due to road noise.

Sorry bud. Definitely sounds different than what I was experiencing. Worst case scenario, if you do indeed require a new transmission, google used Mini parts. There are a couple of Mini junkyards that sell parts online. They offer transmissions for for only a few hundred bucks. Good luck, keep us posted on your findings.

Can also use www.car-part.com for a used transmission (if that is your issue). I've used this database myself for many many parts.
