Yes & no. The 06 has the same tranny as the 08 you have listed. There has been some problems with a few cars, but not with mine. I hope this helps. 04 and earlier had the cvt tranny.

Auto R53s never had CVTs. They had AISIN trannies. Known to be pretty solid!

The automatic transmission on my wife's Cooper S has been free of problems.

My R53 transmission is slipping. But it also has 105,000+ miles on it.
