any word on whether it damaged anything else?

 

for god sake...thats damn pity[:@]

i had a bad story with my cooper too..

it was the last november that i bought the car......after a couple of days something terrible happened....

i was driving to my house with my girl and a sudden rain got me...[sm=badbadbad.gif]

it was raining hard and it was almost midnight...the road to my house was not good...as i was driving i saw waters coming in my side......the result...my engine took water from the front hole that the air is coming in....and broke down...[:@][:'(][:@]...all these waters ,flood the certain part of the road, because two big piles had wiped out and the road had big holes full of water getting my car lower to the ground...giving the same time the opportunity for the waters to ride the front part of my mini........[]

but i got new engine after that ....and for my luck till now my Cooper rocks!!

 

As of right now...No.....There just putting in a flyhweel and clutch.

 

well, thats good...ive seen all sorts of things break stemming from trans issues..[:@]
