Replying to: joem5 (Aug 24, 2007 11:30 am) Since Mini got bought by BMW, this time it is really the German who could built a car.

Replying to: zmaster2 (Jul 10, 2007 4:03 pm) zmaster2 - what was the final verdict on the source of the problems? wiring or transmission? I'm happy to report that I have not had any more mechanical issues since the transmission was replaced. Of course the passenger side front seat is now in a permanently reclined position, but at least it's drivable.
#73 of 269 Does a '06 Mini Cooper S have a CVT? I heard not... by bfromhold Sep 02, 2007 (1:54 pm)
Replying to: zmaster2 (Jul 10, 2007 4:03 pm) I'm a little confused about which automatic transmission I have in my (late July) 2006 MINI Cooper S now. After talking with a MINI dealer here in the Puget Sound area last week, I was informed only the non S MINIs have the CVT transmission. Does anyone know if this is true? So far I have had nothing unusual happen with the transmission. My MINI: Late July '06 MCS, Hyper blue with white top & bonnet stripes, chrome exterior & interior, all Packages, rear fog light, park distance control, AT, English leather interior, cockpit chrono pack, Harmon Kardon stereo, Stage 2 MINI Madness kit.

Replying to: bfromhold (Sep 02, 2007 1:54 pm) The MCS never got a CVT. Replies to this message: bfromhold (Sep 02, 2007 1:58 pm) british_rover (Sep 02, 2007 2:00 pm) bodble2 (Sep 02, 2007 10:48 pm) bfromhold (Sep 06, 2007 2:46 pm) and 5 more...

Replying to: british_rover (Sep 02, 2007 1:55 pm) That's good to hear. Hopefully I won't have any issues with my transmission. One thing weird & dumb is that there's no dip stick to check the transmission fluid level. I'm not sure why they'd do something like that!

Replying to: bfromhold (Sep 02, 2007 1:58 pm) Cause BMW wants to eliminate the possibility of drivers doing any type of maintenance and try to take independent service/repair shops out of the loop too.

Replying to: bfromhold (Sep 02, 2007 1:58 pm) Wait a minute, you bought park distance control? For a MINI?

#78 of 269 new transmission at 58,000 miles??????? by damouse1 Sep 06, 2007 (12:24 pm)
Replying to: winniep (Jul 21, 2007 2:31 pm) Thanks for this info. I've got 58,000 miles on my 03 and the ENTIRE TRANSMISSION needs to be replaced. The dealership quoted me almost $8,000 to fix it.... about half the price of the car- it's only 4 years old! The manufacturer did offer to replace the transmission and do the 60,000 miles for free, but they still want me to pay the $2,500 in labor. What do you guys think about this?

Replying to: damouse1 (Sep 06, 2007 12:24 pm) The manufacture did not offer to pay for mine. It was a straight $8000 quote. I ended up going to a mechanic and pay a little less than $7000 to replace it. I am gathering interested participants for a class action law suit. If you are interested, please send me an email at no2numba-tu.com. Please keep in mind that it might take me a while to get enough people and to find a good lawyer to rep us. Thanks!
