Yes, although I didn't have the extended warranty, MINI agreed to pay for a new short block; I just had to pay the dealer $2200 (including tax) for installation and now have a 2 yr warranty on the new engine. I think MINI's willingness to provide the remanufactured short block shows admission to a faulty original engine, based on problems I'd reported under warranty (cold start/death rattle, excessive oil burn, loss of pep.)
Now that I think about it, I did notice a loss of power accelerating in 2nd & 3rd gears last night on my home - hope that's not the start of gear slippage... (63,500 miles)

My stage 2.5 clutch and pressure plate are in. Stage 2 flywheel side, stage 3 pp side.
Flywheel was cut down, lost a few pounds off of it.
Clutch feels great. Must better grab than stock, lower grab point, smooth engagement (which surprised me) and a very light pedal feel (Also surprising, didnt like it at first but within 50 miles i was loving it)
WORD TO THE WISE:::::
Change your rear main seal when you do a clutch. Mine just went in for a rear main seal 2 days after the clutch and has to be taken apart all over again now.
