I had to replace the clutch and flywheel at cost of $2,100 in my mini cooper at 20k mi. This was just 4 months after buying it used from Habberstad mini in NY. Now just 3 months later it sounds like a bearing is going. Isn't that part of the replacement? the dealer is saying no! Is there any recall on this?

 

Would think that the throw out bearing would be part of the replacement. I just bought a 2015 mini cooper s at Habberstad mini. The sales experience was great. I am a little nervous about the upcoming service experience after reading your post and the comments on yelp. People say the service dept is not good and the woman who is the service manager gets really negative comments.
