SUBJECT
Service Action - Flush and Replace CVT Transmission Oil on MINI Cooper
MODEL
MINI Cooper with CVT transmission produced from 08/13/2002 up to 10/23/2002
SITUATION
Incorrect, low viscosity transmission oil was filled into CVT transmissions during production. The use of lower viscosity oil can result in sporadic
excessive trans noise accompanied with clutch slippage and reduction of transmitted power. Ultimately, the CVT transmission may fail prematurely.
