My 2012 Cooper's gearbox finally gave up last week, it started grinding and then refused to go into gear at all. Took it to a shop and they told me it needs a full rebuild, quoted me a figure that I have no way of knowing is fair or not. This is my first time dealing with gearbox work so I am completely in the dark. A colleague mentioned that
this Mini Cooper gearbox rebuild shop offers fair pricing, but I have not reached out yet because I want to get a sense of what is normal first. Has anyone here had a rebuild done on a Mini and can share roughly what you paid? Also what should I be asking them about warranty and parts before I agree to anything. I do not want to cheap out and regret it, but I also do not want to overpay just because I do not know better.
