I have had a standard 2002 Mini with a automatic transmission with 51,000 when purchased that the CVT transmission took a dive a 62,000 miles.... Given the cost of a new transmission at $8k.... has anyone considered converting to a manual transmission???? Need advice ASAP!!!!
Several people have talked about doing it, but I don't think anybody has. There are some old threads about it you can search for. Apparently, the computer has to be changed too; very involved.

I'm getting ready to do the electronic portion of this swap soon(modifying engine harness) and will let you know how it turns out. We have a spare DMW and EWS, so programming is not going to be an issue.

After looking at every option you can think of and talking to six different dealers and repair shops and $6,000 later... repair was finished yesterday and best I could do was a rebuilt with a two year unlimited mile warrantee....
