So I was driving home from work today and it sounded like something fell off my car, so I turned around and picked it up off the road and it was this. It looks like the part where it broke off was jb welded on at some point. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

I dont think that is off your car. road debris

 

There wasn't anything in the road before I heard it under the car which is why I am concerned

 

Should have bought a s2000. Amazing pieces of machinery.

 

Yes, that part is from your car.
Welcome to NAM! Go ahead and make your intro thread in 1st Gear, and I'll tell you what it is.

 

did your shifter feel changed? I think that goes on the shifter linkage right above the trans

 

I once saw a bumper sticker on an old Jaguar,

"The parts falling off this car are of the finest British manufacture."

I love it!

That doesn't look like any part I've ever seen in my 8 years of MINI ownership, but that's probably not saying much.

 

 

It feels the same. It has been a little rough for awhile now though.

 

Clutch was replaced maybe 5k miles ago

 

ohh gaud seriously ... if something like this fell off your car that had been JB Welded ... you would know

 

Good clue. Sounds like the counterweight got jammed against the crossmember, and someone forced it. I'd guess it wasn't done by the dealer, or a specialist with a lot of MINI experience.

 

I've got this on my classic Mini. Gets a lot of laughs and comments, for sure!

 

Does anyone know where to find a replacement part? I cannot seem to find it anywhere.

 

I know MINI won't help you. I'm trying to find a Getrag supplier myself. I need new clutch plates for my differential. It seems like the only part that's available separately are the axle seals. Good luck.
