CVT to 6 Speed Getrag Swap
#51
I just got the interface in and I gave it a half hearted try yesterday. I couldnt get it to link up, but then realized that the lighter fuse was blown and the OBD2 interface had no power. I will give it an attempt this evening and report back...
The ECU did in fact go into immobilization mode, so after about 200 miles of driving, it shut the car down. I'll get it all figured out and make some nice neat package out of it!!! LOL

Thanks for bravely paving the way for other CVT owners to do this - looking forward to the update!

very interesting thread, I have the Aisin 6-speed auto which actually works great but am looking to swap to a getrag 6 -speed for the track. Sounds like the cpu is going to be the trickiest part unless i'm willing to buy a used one from a manual tranny car. I figure a doner car from the junk yard should have all the required parts.

Ok - for the latest update. I have gotten the mini cooper finished...I ended up taking to Import Car Center in Grapevine Texas. They spent alot of time and energy getting the computer mods written and re--programmed. The car now runs like it always had a manual transmission. They charged me roughly $300.00 to do the ECU re-write. So, when donig this - find someone in your area that specializes in ECU mods and get a quote to factor into your budget. I basically did the entire swap for around $2000.00 and that before I re-sell my old parts and recoup towards the investment. It was definetely worth the time and the money.

That's about what I'm planning it'll be too using parts pulled from a retired S with as little mileage as I can find when the day comes. The 05-06 getrags have a more optimal gear ratio for our justacoopers, but they're a little more expensive than the 02-04 ones. I'm also figuring there will be other things to replace while the front end is apart.

Selling the Mini!!!
With Mods all done - I have decided to put the Mini up for sale. Attached is a picture of the car. I am asking $10,000.00 for it, a fair price for the amount that I spent in upgrades. If your interested - you can email me at tommy@alpengt.com.

Way,
what would you charge to do this tranny swap service?
I have an '06 6-speed auto which works fine but want to change to a Getrag more for performance and track reasons. I'm sure I could sell my current auto trans for a couple bucks to help offset the cost a bit. Curious what this would cost including parts, approx +- .
