Asked by Guru992DRB Oct 17, 2020 at 02:42 AM about the 2005 MINI Cooper Hatchback
Question type: General
I have a 2005 mini non s cvt auto trans won't shift out of 1st and reverse
works. So I wounder do I need to replace it? or can the cvt trans be fixed?
I have a manual 6 speed trans out of a 2007 mini if anyone would like to trade
for a cvt trans for my 2005 and I'll throw in the cable shifter and clutch kit

I would probably say yes, it is time for a replacement. I highly doubt anyone would swap a defective auto CVT transmission for parts. CVT's can be repaired, but most times in a transmission shop, so most garages will purchase remanufactured ones from these companies. Have a trans mechanic or Mini mechanic look it over before you do. Will you be able to swap in a manual trans from the 2007? I would say yes. You would need the transmission, and clutch, the pedals and shifter and a new ECM and someone to install and program it all. But consider this, your car is worth $2500 in working order, so unless you really love your vehicle, doing the swap will probably be over $3K. Get some price quotes.
Cvt transmission's are junk watch a couple videos on them an you will understand why I say they are junk
You took your car to the wrong place I've heard bad things about that place it's a wonder they didn't break your car so they could charge you for work they created for themselves
