The factory recommended interval for the automatic transmission is 100,000 miles and MINI states the manual transmission fluid is a 'life-time fluid' that does not require fluid replacement. In our 'unscientific' opinion, this is too long and we don't believe in 'life-time' fluids. You should check with any transmission specialist that you trust for their recommendation.

Identifying the correct MINI Factory Clutch Kit can be confusing. The part number varies depending on the production year, Cooper or Cooper S, and engine type. The chart below should help you find the correct kit. The clutch on the Mini is designed to function properly at a given horsepower figure (plus some headroom). As the Mini engine gets upgraded producing more power than stock, the increased horsepower can overpower the stock clutch's clamping force and/or the friction material on the clutch disc. This can cause excessive clutch slip and the net result is a burnt clutch making the Mini non-operational.
