There may have transmission issues with teh midland trans used in the early Coopers (non-S) but I haven't heard of any epidemic MCS trans issues... got me scratchin' my head.:confused:

oh... It's just that I saw the thread in the technical forum where members were forced to replace their transmissions (cvt, manual) due to broken synchros and so on... so I was just trying to avoid those :)

I guess it's not as serious as I am thinking :wink:
