No, you will need to find a 6-speed manual from the 2002-2006 R53 Cooper S Hardtop, or 2005-2008 R52 Cooper S Convertible.

Here is a partial list of items you will need:

Output Shaft – Right (Passenger side)
Output Shaft – Left (Driver side)
Dustcover (qty. 2)
Dustcover
Lock Ring
Hex Nut (for output shafts)
Starter
Clutch Release Bearing
Output Cylinder Clutch (slave cylinder)
Pipe (connects clutch line to slave)
Pipe Bracket
Support Bracket, Transmission
M12 x 45 bolts for support bracket
Bracket, Bowden cable
Backup Light Switch
Flywheel
Pressure Plate
Clutch

It is best to find a wrecked 'donor car' to make this financially reasonable....

Also, you may lose the cruise control when you make this swap.

We have an article that describes the swap - for a copy, email [email protected]
