auto tranny problems
hello I'm from ft86club actually not a mini owner and I've never actually driven one either, but my friend has a problem with her's and this is where I thought I'd go.
Anyways the other day I was in her car and noticed a shudder every time it shifted. My immediate thought was the tranny fluid. She took it into the dealer and they said that the whole transmission need to be replaced. Should I go through and change her ATF (using the pdf guide) ? or is there actually something seriously wrong with it.. thanks !
edit: and also what parts would i need to replace if I'm changing the fluid and filter.

There is a big thread on here about yourfriend's Aisin 6spd auto. You can change the fluid, but more likely you need to change the valve body too. It is much less $ than the whole tranny, but still expensive at about $1500 or so depending on labour rates and what fluids you use.
Find a good shop that will diagnose and is able to do a valve body swap. Take it there and go from there.
