@silversmoke06 thats what 1000 miles looks like

great video guys but the music is horrible, you killed it.

[MiniMadnessTV]

@rwburmeister they have this new thing called a volume control, maybe you've heard of it

A friend of mine has the Stage 4 on his Mini plus some tranny and suspension goodies. The smile I have on my face when I drive it says it all

How did you guys remove the drive shafts, Im having trouble pulling it out of the transmission. I'm only able to pull it out about half an inch out and it wouldn't come out.

I'm working on the right side right now.

Thakns!

@masmagalingako light tapping outward does the trick

My son and I just completed removal and referred to your great video several times to see what you took and what you left on the car. Much thanks! 11/14/2010

hi george i want to remove my engine for repairs. i was wondering how long did it take you to remove, also could you give me a basic run down of removal?? much appreciated

[MiniMadnessTV]

@patsf1 time is roughly 2-3 hours with the equipment shown.

Stupid question time!

How much does this type of service generally run? Are we talking well past several thousand dollars?

[MiniMadnessTV]

@mrsilverblood about 16 hours for a remove and replace. roughly $1400

hey guys how did you remove the shift cables from the transmission?

thanks

[MiniMadnessTV]

undo the release clips and use a pry bar to pry out the cables
