Welcome to the forum, hope the trasmission holds up for you, do you have a manual or automatic (if auto which type Aisin 6 spd. or Variable Ratio)?

Welcome to the family! I think you'll find a lot of very helpful and very knowledgeable "mechanically inclined" folks here on NAM that will be able to give you some valuable advice. Hope you get it corrected and enjoy many years of MINI motoring happiness.

 

I'm sure you'll be motoring around soon. You'll find plenty of help here.

Post up some pics if you have a chance.

 

MCS 05 96,000 MILES
TRANS SHIFTS INCONSISTANTLY
dosent seem to slip,just shifts crazy up and down,and sometimes slams into second.

 

When coasting to a stop, the transmission can feel harsh when it engages second gear due to the difference in the ratio of third to second. Also, I believe the torque convertor stays locked up during this downshift, which can also feel harsh.
