Result, good for you Clive & Mrs Clive. Seems like those cars are not very well made ?

The early 5 speed boxes (Mini One and Cooper) seem to be garbage.

I'd understood that the last gearbox was replaced by the supposedly "uprated" item, who knows?

I had a Cooper S for a while, had no issues with it, seemed to be a lot better built go kart.
