    I think Redbeard mentioned earlier slipping the clutch going from a stop into first. I am replacing a clutch in my car(2010 Cooper JCW S, that I bought with 18000 miles on it, used from a dealer). So a few questions. Are you supposed to dump the clutch more than slip it gently? I've been driving a clutch off and on for 44 years and I've never had a clutch problem. I will autocross 1 or 2 times a month but I thought Minis were built to take that. I saw the flywheel and it is blue spotted and covered with hairline cracks. What does that indicate?

    Artemis is going in the the dealer Tuesday. I told them my symptom and they said it's probably the flywheel.

    Wish me luck! :Thumbsup:
