MINI Cooper Automatic Transmission Filter Flush Kit

MINI Cooper Automatic Transmission Flush Kit for all Gen 1 cars.  This MINI Automatic Transmission Fluid is just what you need to do a flush in your Gen 1 Cooper S, Automatic Transmission and comes with a new filter and gasket.  This is the correct spec fluid, direct from MINI.  Normally the transmission hold 6 qts. (dry), but when you're doing a flush, you can only get about 2 ½ qts. in, due to the fluid in the tq converter.  To do a more complete flush, you will need to drive the car for a "day," and do it again with the fluid you can find here.  You may even want to do it a third time, depending on how the fluid is looking.  Each time you drain it, you will see the color of the fluid go from a really dark red/brown to a brighter red color.  You can now be the judge.  A Bentley manual is helpful anytime you're working on your MINI, but it is lacking some information on this transmission flush.  See the below how-to for better details.  This is not a difficult job, but it comes in a harder skill level than most jobs.

Kit includes:

• 4 Bottles of Transmission Fluid (83-22-2-220-438)
  
• 1 Pan Gasket (24-11-7-566-356)
  
• 1 Fluid Filter (24-34-7-551-087
  

Our friends over at Motoring Alliance have a great how-to article that will help you a lot.  Take a read over here.  We also added a great photo of where & how to fill the transmission from the top.
