2011 Mini Clubman 3dr Wagon

121-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD

93000 mi Transmission started making a slight whirring sound at high speed. I became worried it would be an expensive repair so I figured best to get rid of it while I could still smoke it past a dealership appraiser.

Replaced the clutch all parts. The clutch was installed out of state by the company I bought it from. The clutch must have been installed wrong or some part was not replaced. The day I took delivery I could smell the clutch. When the shop here in town replaced it they did not see any obvious issues that led to the clutch failure. The clutch disk was uneven. It was down to nothing on one side and thick on the other.
