Greetings,
First of all I'm a new member from London, UK.
Secondly I'm not able to drive 'stick', some doctor said so, yes I have a CVT.
Finally has anybody or does anybody have a DIY guide on how to remove the whole of the front subframe?
Thanks in advance.
The car needs to be put into service mode, then there are multiple electrical connectors that need undone, steering linkage, CVT gear selector cable, ball joints, tie rods, sway bar end links all need to be broken free, then remove the subframe bolts.
We have a subframe removal DIY on our site under MINI > Tech Info (tab at top) > Suspension > Subframe Removal. Check it out and see if it may be helpful to you.
