My 2003 mini S is making a clunking noise as it idles near the left side of the supercharger close to the pulleys for the belt. It also won't go into 1st and 2nd gear. Anyone have any ideas or similar problems?

 

On the left side, have you checked the motor mount and also check to see if the belt tensioner shock is shot/

On first and second, have you check your shift cable attachments? Do you get any grinding noise when you attempt?

 

I'll go check those, I'm working on getting the videos I took to upload but they're not working!!!!

 

Modmini has some very good vids on Youtube for the Gen1. If you don't know your way around the engine compartment suggest you watch a view.
