2002 MINI COOPER Recall ID from NHTSA: 02V201000
Auto Recall Date: 07/25/2002 Vehicle Component: POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY Estimated Vehicles Affected: 3531 2002 MINI COOPER Defect Summary: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE CONNECTS THE GEARSHIFT LEVER IN THE VEHICLE INTERIOR TO THE SHIFT LINKAGE ON THE TRANSMISSION.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SHIFT CABLE AND, IF NECESSARY, INSTALL A RETAINING CLIP OVER THE END OF THE SHIFT CABLE TO PREVENT IT FROM DETACHING FROM THE TRANSMISSION.
