Brilliant! Thanks mate, mine decided to fail on the freeway

[@aaanton11]

Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@dealman3312]

Great video. What could it be if the mini pops out of gear in second when you let off the clutch? Usually only does it with DSC off, revmatching disabled

[@aaanton11]

Possible Gear box issue, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Hi I can only find the kit for a vauxhall vivaro or a Nissan primastar. Will this fit

[@aaanton11]

should do, give it a bash let me know how you get on, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@jamiemonks3737]

Hi, thanks for the video! Mine popped out and taken half of the plastic socket with it so it’s only a matter of time before it happens again. The Amazon link you put in the description has expired. What are those aftermarket connectors called?? Mine’s an F56 model and hoping to try and replace the connector before looking at doing the whole linkage cable! Cheers 👍

[@aaanton11]

These are the sort of clips you can adapt to fit amzn.to/3Vs3EnF Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@jillyork252]

I’ve tried that link and it says no longer available, can you help with the link you’ve found where they are still available which would fit my mini one, thanks very much x

Jill York I used epoxy to repair mine. Worked well

[@jillyork252]

MUTE thanks for the tip, I’ll keep that in mind

[@sup3rbasscann0n]

Jill York sure thing still working to date

[@davidhall370]

Is this repair for the 2014 model and up ?

[@aaanton11]

They all suffer with this issue, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Hi does the proper clamp work on a 2005 mini cooper? I followed the ebay link you posted for someone for the Matlock vauxhall vivaro but it says it does not fit my mini. Is this just because its not specifically for my model or will it definitely fit? Thanks.

[@aaanton11]

This one is for the vivaro but is fits the mini too Link £7 amzn.to/3homKXo Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

@@aaanton11 Hi. When I click the link It says the Web link is not a recognised page.

[@nathanbruce6987]

Hi there did u buy the Matlock link and repair properly as I may get one for wife's mini cooper 2005

[@aaanton11]

No, this is still the same works well so left alone, thanks for the comments 👍🏻👍🏻

[@kenusami]

Did that part from eBay work it says it doesn't fit mini?

[@aaanton11]

Yes like a dream thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@tylermiller4588]

This actually was my initial problem. Upon slow rolling into a gas station and playing with the clutch and shifter for an hour or so, my mini became stuck in 3rd. So now I'm not sure what the issue is. Anything for me?

[@aaanton11]

Has it popped off again? Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@tylermiller4588]

@@aaanton11 no it hasn't popped off again. I used a couple thick zip ties to hold it together. Although, Im unable to find the correct replacement for it. If you could send a link to one I would greatly appreciate it. For specs its an 03 Mini Cooper S.

[@jakevaughn8520]

Can you tell me the part number

As I suppose, first I have to unplug the battery?

Yes battery needs disconnecting thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@southcoast-fitness321]

Do you have a link for the eBay repair

[@aaanton11]

eBay link this should fit rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F152949854939 Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻

[@southcoast-fitness321]

aaanton11 thanks - this worked a treat

[@aaanton11]

Great news well done, thanks for the information 👍🏻👍🏻

[@-taylor-9980]

Seems to be the same issue for me. But the car won't move and will only roll when the engine is off. With the engine on it just stalls Asif all the brakes are stuck on but aren't.. weird...

[@aaanton11]

if your lever is floppy, the gearbox might be between gears which can cause all sorts of weird faults, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@-taylor-9980]

@@aaanton11 will let you know how it goes. If it's in-between gears would that act like park on an automatic? Can't get my head around it and I'm good with cars haha!

[@-taylor-9980]

@@aaanton11 I've just uploaded two videos of what's happening for me if you want to have a nosey. Thanks. I'm totally confused 😂

[@jillyork252]

Hi do you know if the eBay link you sent to John would fit my mini one 2001? I’ve just been quoted £300 to get this fixed!! I wish you were my neighbour! Thanks

[@aaanton11]

It would fit yours also they are still on eBay 👍🏻👍🏻Thanks for watching

[@CrownRock1]

If you can't find it on eBay, try Mini Mania. Not sure if they ship to your side of the pond (I'm in the US), but that's where I get all my Mini parts for my 2002 non-S model.

[@aaanton11]

Thanks for the great information 👍🏻👍🏻

CrownRock1 thanks a lot, great website and they do deliver to UK
