Arent worn syncros a very usual problem in a mini, there are heaps of them out there with sticks vibratiing in 3 and whining in 2nd - you just gotta learn how to toe-in-heel down shift and 3rd to 2nd is easy. It can last for many ears - just depends on how you come to deal with it. Rebuilding a box would cost you around $1000 just in parts plus labour . But with s'hand gearboxes its much easier to see if its stuffed - there is a discernible physical wear and it can be examined when the box is off. BTW if youre getting a 1275 engine (even if its the non Cooper ones - ie 1275LS \ Marina etc) even with fairly basic tuning you'd feel that the standard gear ratios are too low and your 1st and 2nd are of not much use anyways. |

a friend recond an engine from a close friend for $650. that was a mate's thing. i got quotes of $1300 i say if the gearbox is the only prob then fix it. if pretty much everything is worn, get another engine. you can probably find a good recond engine for about $2000 |
