      @@Rezellen don’t work on a car if you’re not sure what to do. I didn’t say jack on the transmission oil pan, I said on the subframe which is between the control arm and the transmission oil pan, don’t jack on the oil pan. There is not a lot of room on the bottom of the car. Yes, you can jack from the jack points, but if you want to put jack stands on the jack points you have to hold the car from a second location, ie, the subframe, eg, sometimes one needs to move the suspension around to remove shocks. It’s best to have two points holding up the car so that if one point fails, the other point still holds up the car, and no one gets hurt. If you can’t locate the subframe check out other videos for clarity.

      I don’t think it’s necessary to get the AEM version. Just as long as the hood scoop blows air over into the engine bay and the one can funnel/pick up the air. The AEM version seems like it would reduce engine bay heating the air, but not sure how much of a difference it makes. AfePower.com has a version I was considering.

      go turbo blanket over heat shield (the shield makes the valve cover brittle /warp or actually melt in some cases and yes I have the same one but have upgraded to an aluminum valve cover because of it) agree with tires, intercooler, filter (intake optional and totally not necessary unless tuning ecu) I’d add rear sway bar to go with those coilovers to reduce body roll and understeer. Also adjustable rear control arms with a proper alignment (needed with coilovers anyway) to correct the tire eating problem in the back. A nice cheap upgrade is to delete the junk plastic noisemaker on the factory piping to pick up some throttle response. Best bang for your buck after that is get the ecu tuned for the modifications if that’s allowed in your area. Major improvement even if you don’t modify anything at all (aka “stage 1 tune”)

      @@jamesgarage4327 I mean realistically you should smell it and see the smoke before the fire… which would likely start with or without a blanket on it. I don’t know of anyone personally that’s had that happen since the lines pass through a fairly large opening in the forge blankets and it’s very fire retardant. The shield should go away once the blanket is on Don’t think it would clear anyway unless you used longer bolts/ spacers.

    Thanks for the video. Just did my 2009 Mini Clubman tranny fluid change. There are two fill locations on the tranny. Remove the driver side wheel and peel back the center of the wheel well liner and you will notice two 12 mm bolts one on top of another in the center of the tranny. Remove the top bolt it will have an o-ring on it. This is how you know you found a fill location. The 2nd fill location is on top of the tranny adjacent to the starter. Feel for the 12 mm bolt with your hand. Use a box wrench to remove, it is easier than a socket. You can run the car while filling in these locations. To fill, I drilled two holes in a sturdy plastic container's cap. Screwed an air hose male fitting in one hole and cut a 1/4 inch hose at an angle and fed it through the second hole. Set the air compressor to 5 psi. I used a plastic hose adapter from my Mighty Vac kit and screwed into the 12mm bolt hole. The air from the compressor will push the tranny fluid in to the tranny.

    Hey James! Second post here since I'll be tackling this job this week. How does your transmission feel? I've noticed that when I let off the gas (from cruising at maybe 2-2.5k RPM), the car has a very significant and often jerky slow down. The transmission is fine at downshifting during acceleration, but very jerky when downshifting especially when letting off the gas.
