Compare Mini Cooper Clutch Replacement Deals Near You

Your clutch maintains the connection between your gearbox and your engine. When you depress the clutch pedal, two metal plates come apart and separate the engine from the drive wheels, allowing you to change gear. Bringing the pedal back up re-engages the plates and reconnects the engine to the drive wheels.

Any problems with your clutch can lead to a lack of control while driving. If you notice this, you should book a clutch replacement as soon as possible. Otherwise, your car will be at an increased accident risk.

About the MINI Cooper

A British icon since the swinging 1960s, the Mini is a small economy car that was made by the British Motor Corporation from 1959 until 2000 and is now under the umbrella of BMW. The transverse engine front-wheel drive layout influenced a generation of car makers and allowed 80 per cent of the car’s floorplan to be used for passengers and luggage - that’s a lot of space!

In 1999 the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T, and ahead of the Citroën DS and Volkswagen Beetle. The performance versions, the Mini Cooper and Cooper "S," were successful as rally cars, winning the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, 1965 and 1967.

The British manufacturer now offers a selection of nine cars across a broad spectrum of vehicle choices, from the traditional three-door hatchback to the more radical Coupe, Countryman, and Paceman. It also developed a range of frugal engines, both petrol and diesel, to reduce running costs.

Why It’s Important To Book A Clutch Replacement For Your Mini Cooper

Your clutch is an incredibly essential part of your car. It is made up of various parts that work in unison to allow your car to drive. Every car has a clutch, even automatic models – it works on a computer rather than a pedal. Without it, your Mini Cooper wouldn’t be able to run. Therefore, it is incredibly important to book a Mini Cooper clutch replacement as soon as you need one.

We understand that clutch replacement is a big job. That’s why at BookMyGarage you can compare garages and prices to ensure you’re getting the best deal on your Mini Cooper clutch replacement. Just simply enter your registration plate and your postcode to see the best prices near you!

How Often Should I Book A Mini Cooper Clutch Replacement?

A clutches life expectancy differs from car to car. The clutch on your Mini Cooper will need replacing anywhere between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. Of course, this isn’t a hard rule – your driving behaviours will have an impact on your clutch’s lifespan. Being stationary in heavy traffic day to day will have a strain on your clutch. If you live in a part of the country that is rather mountainous, you’ll find your clutch will need repairing sooner.

As you begin to approach 60,000 miles, pay attention to your car – is it making any unusual noises or sounds? Have you noticed any of these problem signs?:

• You struggle to change gear
• Your car won't engage gear
• The clutch makes a grinding, squealing, shrieking or other bad noise
• You can smell burning from the clutch
• Your biting point has become higher than normal

If the answer is yes, it might be time to get your Mini Cooper clutch replacement booked in today.

FAQs

How Does the Clutch Work?

A clutch maintains the connection between your gearbox and your engine. When you depress the clutch pedal, two metal plates come apart and separate the engine from the drive wheels, allowing you to change gear. Bringing the pedal back up re-engages the plates and reconnects the engine to the drive wheels. Any problems with your clutch can lead to a lack of control while driving. If you notice this, you should book a clutch replacement as soon as possible. Otherwise, your car will be at an increased accident risk.

When Would My Mini Cooper Need a Master Cylinder Replacement?

Since the master cylinder is the central component of your clutch system, it will need replacing every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. It operates in the same way the master cylinder in your brake system does; containing a reservoir that stores lubrication fluid. Without it, your car would not be able to run. It is important to get your master cylinder replacement booked in as soon as you need it.

What Happens During a Clutch Replacement?

During a clutch change, a mechanic will first inspect your clutch and gearbox condition. This helps them make sure the clutch is to blame before beginning an unnecessary repair. Then, they will unhook the battery and disconnect the clutch and/or hydraulic slave cylinder before stabilising the engine. Next, they will unbolt the pressure plate, check for any leaks and damage and then clean everything and replace as many parts as necessary. Once they have rebuilt the front end of your car, they will test the clutch to ensure they’ve fixed your problem.

How Long Does a Clutch Change Take?

A clutch replacement usually takes between 3 and 5 hours but can take up to 10 hours to complete. It is buried deep within the engine bay, so a mechanic must remove a lot of parts to access the clutch.

How Much Does a Clutch Replacement Cost?

The average price of a MINI Cooper clutch replacement completed using BookMyGarage is £271.
