I have a 2003 MINI Cooper S and my 5th gear has gone out and I am starting to get a little grinding sometimes when I go from 4th to 6th. Someone please tell me the best place to find tranny rebuild kits or if a tranny rebuild kit from any other 1.6 will work, I.e. S40 Honda civic or any other

 

Check with Way Motor Works. They're parting out an '04 S.
