Hi all!

I am new here (as you can tell from the number of posts) and amazed at the experience and talent on this site! I am a car enthusiast and came upon a neat Mini I couldn't pass up. Not perfect by any means but fun as can be

I just bought a 05 base convertible and it has top issues.

The Drive Motor works but the plastic gear is shredded due to track issues that I am tackling now. I hope to sort that out soon and am on the hunt for a replacement gear for the motor but have had no luck in finding one.

I don't want to spend $500 for a $20 gear so I am really hoping that there is a replacement out there somewhere.

Has anyone seen one for sale somewhere? Does anyone have a bad motor with a good gear in it that they want to sell?

Moving you to the Stock Problems/Issues area. Pretty sure ECS that is vendor here has a vert and may be of more help.

 

They dont come separately on the gear. You can find a used one but make sure the cables are not broken or stuck/ stretched otherwise when you put a new or used motor in it will do the same thing.
