Just fixing the squeaky shifter on my MINI Cooper S manual transmission. The squeaking shifter on my MINI was disturbing such that it devalued the car and diminished the driving experience. I show you the shift linkage location where it attaches to the transmission. I also show how to grease / lubricate the shift linkage on this MINI Cooper S. Now my car shifts like butter.

great vid - thanks for sharing and taking the time to do it. add this to my list of chores to do on the R53. already changed the gearbox oil - what came out was black and runny, what went in was golden and thick - made a massive difference

Hi
Great video - was shifting effort reduced and or shifting action improved?

[@aDIYCarGuy]

Thanks, it definitely felt smoother and slightly easier to shift

[@therealikaros]

is oil a good alternative to use?

[@jorgegutierrez9054]

what is the part called where you sprayed and where the klutch cables attach?

[@aDIYCarGuy]

not sure, possibly shift rails

[@jakobducey1679]

Do you have to reprogram anything if you unplug the computer?

[@aDIYCarGuy]

nope, at least not on the 04

[@DeclanTD]

Could you hear the squeak when the engine was idling?

[@johnunderwood3132]

It’s white lithium grease?

[@bobbie92969]
