throw out berring - Mini Cooper Forums

my 2004 mini cooper S has a rattle (throw out berring?) when at idle.

it goes away when the clutch peddle is depressed. Is this common?

What is the process to replace it $?

mine does the same thing. Been doing it for over 6,000 miles now. Doesn't seem to be getting worse. I'm not worrying about it.

my cooper did that then had a wine from the diff and then went bang, removed gearbox to find a hole in it and a lot of bits, so if you get any wine from the diff DONT DRIVE IT.
